A new and better FBS thread

Why didn't NDSU fans turn their house Bison colors? Clearly there were stubs available. Drivable.

I know you're being tongue-in-cheek, but I can't help it. USD is the school that in the past has made NDSU tickets not available online. They've also paired them together with other random OOC games with the intent of excluding NDSU fans. They'd rather not sell tickets than allow more opposing fans to come.

Just another great example of the mentality of some FCS schools.

They're picking based on all-sports needs more than just football. Whodathunkit.

PS - Bigley.

Right, their conference is looking for warm bodies close in proximity more than anything else at this point.

Did they do any of that this year?

No idea. My dad went but he just drove there and bought a walk up ticket. I've never had a desire to go to Vermillion, SD and anyone I know who's been there regrets going lol.

Only USD "road game" I've been to was when they hosted it in Sioux Falls and then tried forcing fans to buy tickets to their opener against Colgate to get access to the NDSU tickets. All that happened was it convinced Sioux Falls USD alumni not to buy tickets.

Funny story though. They also messed up the execution and all you needed was to buy the one $5 ticket to the Colgate game and you then had the ability to buy up to 20 tickets for the NDSU game - instead of forcing you to buy the same number of tickets for each game. Then after they figured it out, they asked all the NDSU fans to "honor the intent" of the "promotion" by purchasing the corresponding tickets to their Colgate game. Mickey Mouse. Too funny.

Georgia has two football programs. Georgia and Tech.

Can't imagine another university bringing much value there.

Atlanta is huge but that's an SEC town. Can't imagine many streams of a Kennesaw State or Georgia State on a Saturday.

The only question being if PJ will be the Alabama coach by then. :-)

The state of Georgia is very lucrative for high school and college sports. Kennesaw is in a rapid growing area of the state in Cobb County representing about 750,000 residents. Would be the 3rd largest undergrad school in the new Conference USA. Would allow a more reasonable operation in split divisions that would lessen travel costs to all institutions especially in non-football sports while contributing other non-football sports that we need in order to keep our AQ bids. The most important reason is that we are negotiating a new media rights deal starting next season with one of the top contributors in the business, and they see Kennesaw as an asset to their portfolio.

Portland State the largest university in Oregon and located in the state's major media market. Should the Pac-12 add PSU for the same reasons noted above? I still maintain Kennesaw will have a hard time competing for fans with the SEC even when they are FBS.
