A new and better FBS thread

[ByeSonBusiness]

I think NDSU would be unique then!
there's FBS conferences with open weeks during the season that would play.
Play 4 kick ass Non Conference games vs Power 5 and sprinkle in the teams below.

2.1 Army
2.2 BYU
2.3 Liberty
2.4 New Mexico State
2.5 Notre Dame
2.6 UConn
2.7 UMass

That's 11 games. And few/any of those schools are gonna want an annual game.

any chance of P5 to break off. then G5 & top of FCS programs combine.....then bottom of fcs goes to D2?

The bottom of FCS will not go to D2 unless they want to go to D2 in all sports. If they want to do that they would have already done it. Some combination of G5 and FCS is entirely possible though. They would have to figure out the coaching salary imbalance or they could just have a huge range.

So we almost had one imaginary indy season planned out. Not a good thing if even the pie in the sky guys can't come up with a fantasy situation that works well lol

The only chance going independent has a sniff if they had a GUARANTEE conference invite and used it as a 1-2 year bridge. For example "we will play independent in 2022 and 2023 and start the MWC/MAC or whatever in 2024."

Going independent without a guarantee...what's zero divided by zero...

It’s a divide by zero error - it’s undefined.

Go Independent for a few years then join Mountain West when they lose someone to AAC or Big 12/Pac 12 again.

If we are independent all games are OOC games right?

Finding teams to play is not a challenge. Finding 5-6 home games would be an unenviable task.

Does the NCAA even allow a move up to FBS as an independent? I see it listed on different sites, but haven't found it at ncaa.org. Was the exception granted to Liberty a one-off to avoid a religious discrimination lawsuit?

At worst case, we could play UMass and NMSU twice a year with a home and home.
