FCS Championship Monday Night?

Monday night game without other football competition should increase the TV eyeballs significantly.

I don't think it will change it that much. They are only so many who will watch it. It could see a slight bump, but being on ESPN, I don't see it getting to 3 or 4 million. Still like the move though.

Even 2 to 3 million viewers would double the viewership of past years. Last year's game drew 1.04 million viewers which was down 3% from the previous year when NDSU played the bunnies.

The last two years were played on Sunday against the NFL. That took away a lot of viewers that might have watched more of the FCS game, but your NFL team is a higher priority for many people. Monday by itself will be better than Sunday.

Increase In Playoff Seeds Gets Key Approval
The push to seed more teams within the 24-team FCS playoff bracket got a key approval this week.

The NCAA Board of Directors Finance Committee gave its support to seed 16 teams in the bracket, which would remain at 24 total teams. (In my reporting of this long process, some folks online have read this push as increasing the number of teams in the bracket. That’s not happening. The push is to increase the number of seeds from eight to 16.)

The Board of Governors is the next and final approval needed to push this across the finish line. They meet this Thursday.

Probably better than before in some ways. Although the pessimistic side of me thinks they’ll just fix the seeds to be regional like they already do for 1-8 lol. Especially since things will start getting real muddy for them at 9-16.

Just have the computers do it, it’ll be close enough and much better than it is currently

And at the end of the day, there's still only 3 or 4 programs with a realistic shot at winning the title.

Can't wait for schools like West Georgia, Mercyhurst, and Texas Rio Grande Valley to join the FCS playoff field starting in 2028.
