A new and better FBS thread

It's laughable at this point.

Aug 16 2019? Guessing they’ve already heard the answer by now

Digging pretty deep into the archive there …

So yes, it's laughable

Ha, totally got me. Didn't bother looking at the date and quite frankly I wouldn't have remembered seeing news about North Carolina A&T if I had.



Stupid Sicatoka

Missed the date on that.

But to see NC A&T making that noise even then is a head-scratcher.

Geography smiles upon them.

North Carolina A&T to the FBS? Geez. Maybe Stoney Brook will be next

It's 6 times a year IF we can get a football only invite. That's not easy at the FBS level. Our costs would go up many other ways as well, more than the $2m/y AAC payout. Better media payout is part of the reason I like MWC. But AAC would be a great move. Need to get basketball on track, that's a very competitive conference.

It's becoming clear NDSU leadership wants to do this right, and not settle for some pansy ass conference like CUSA or ASun/WAC. They are wiser than most people here give them credit for.

The AAC currently gets 7 million per school. They renegotiated in 2019 and runs through 2031-2032. Mountain West is 4 million per school. Losing Louisville and Cincinatti could impact it

The AAC has to pay for their own tv production costs so that takes a large bite out of the 7 million.

apparently the NDSU president will be commenting on a FBS question on the WDAY news this hour. Doubtful it will be big news, but I'm interested in hearing what he says.

lakes finally got us in the big 12 i got the texts

That was a pretty bad segment. President's comments appeared to be more about the budget situation than a FBS move.

The reporter did say that NDSU would "entertain calls" from conferences, or something like that.

There does seem to be a subtle shift in the outward positioning from NDSU officials. Not sure what that means.

I doubt it since half the football and basketball games are on ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU. The rest of the games are ESPN+. That would be like putting a KVLY or WDAY Broadcast on ESPN The AAC Conference Championship game was on ABC, in New Orleans on a Saturday. The comference winner gets to host. Do the Fargodome on ABC on a Saturday

Maybe thats true for Olympic Sports which are all on ESPN+
