A new and better FBS thread

Your really think another 20 million a year is not a problem? Maybe it’s not a problem because it’s not happening

Inflation eh. Pretty sure I became a millionaire and it means jack shit bro.

Ironic that the only thing Matt Larsen has said on the subject of FBS is that “the money” is not any problem whatsoever. Not sure why people stay fixated on that piece of it.

They’re pushing it hard on 1660 too, and $$ never comes up (unless the rest of the MVFC does).

FB-only of course.

I think they would know what is possible better than any of us.

This is the time to talk about it, not during the season next fall IMO, so get it out of your systems

$20 million might be needed to get us ultimately where we want to go in terms of success but that’s a growth process. Our current budget wasn’t in place the moment we moved back in 2003. That’s not to say that more money won’t be needed, just that it isn’t $20 million day one. People stay fixated on it because their minds are small and they can’t fathom that things evolve over time.

As many are dropping season tickets as they don’t feel the price is right

We would need 20 million if we were going P5. I like your enthusiasm, but I think right now we’re just looking at G5 first.

Our current budget is already higher than the bottom of the MW. Add in the additional media money and NCAA tournament money and all of the sudden we’re above the middle of the MW day one in the MW. No extra student fees, no extra donations, etc.

Day. One.

As a little extra adder, we could charge the same amount of student fees as UND, and adding all that together we’d have the same athletic budget as Boise State. I did a breakdown in one of these threads a while back. Should put it in my signature.

Interesting. I missed your breakdown earlier but will look for it. I do think the money aspect is more doable than people claim.

My kids are working calves in Colt's gear that I just bought in December.

It's doable eh.

That's of little value to an FBS conference because of the way the NCAA DI rules are written:

20.02.9 Football Bowl Subdivision Conference.

A conference classified as a Football Bowl Subdivision conference shall be comprised of at least eight full Football Bowl Subdivision members that satisfy all bowl subdivision requirements. An institution shall be included as one of the eight full Football Bowl Subdivision members only if the institution participates in the conference schedule in at least six men's and eight women's conference-sponsored sports, including men's basketball and football and three women's team sports, including women's basketball.

FBS conferences want full members to protect that FBS conference status.
