A new and better FBS thread

[MWC]

The Summit trembles with anticipation

Summit FB as a preemptive strike? Too funny

Hey MWC, would you consider DU under #2, or not west coast enough? DU is consistently pretty good on the oly front

I think they would be considered. I just mentioned the other schools because they would provide warm weather sites for various sports and easy travel. In addition all MW schools, save, AFA recruit the living daylights out of California for all sports..

The Mountain Time Zone schools might prefer Denver, though..

Herder wants to stay FCS and always has, so you tell me ... is he reputable? He's a bit new to the G5 party, so I'll cut him some slack here

But yeah, there's a good chance the MWC sits tight for now, so he might be right

But the point is, NDSU is at or near the top of the list, and will be for the AAC too, despite your constant exclaiming otherwise

Herder is 100% FCS as he thinks he is a FCS source. plus he will bootlick matt larson at any chance.

NDSU should do a FULL BLITZ of press releases and social media tweets stating "NDSU wants to be a part of the College Football Playoff system in the FBS whereas in 2025 the TOP G5 RATED CONFERENCE will get an Auto Bid into said CFP and we think NDSU helps a G5 conference reach that milestone yearly!"

And when the press release and social media generate nothing, then what.

G5 schools: "Holy shit NDSU held a press release and sent out a tweet. They're serious, oh my god."

Can't imagine they'd do this without high confidence in a landing spot
You don't spend years building potential just to gamble it away

San Diego State had requested a "one-month extension given unforeseen delays involving other collegiate athletic conferences beyond our control," plus a reduced exit fee or the ability to pay the exit fee in installments.

The Mountain West letter Friday was in response to SDSU's assertion that it had not given formal notice of withdrawal. The conference also said it did not accept the school's claim that it had not given formal notice of resignation.

The whole back and forth is a little humorous, and seems like both sides are trying to set the terms of divorce.

SDSU -> We resign, give us a break on exit fees, please.
MWC -> You resigned, we're taking the money!
SDSU -> Wait, we didn't officially resign, yet.
MWC -> Yes you did!

The interesting question now is what happens if SDSU tries to stay. MWC could say they already resigned, and kick them out.

SDSU, as per conference bylaws, sent the letter to all the other MW schools. That is pretty ironclad. They needed to notify before June 30, which they did. They still have to play in the MW for the 23/4 calendar to provide the one year notice mandate.. They will not be kicked out. They will be free to join any conference next June. The MW will still get the 17 million. SDSU can also seek to be reinstated if they wish. They did that before when they bailed on the Big East. I believe the MW would take them back. Having said that I do expect them to be in the Pac next June.

Now what happens if SDSU gets their offer and then officially "officially" resigns on July 4?

Do both sides reverse their argument? Does the first "unofficial" letter where they asked for an extension count, or the follow-up letter where they claimed they weren't officially resigning yet?
The whole thing seems a little bit fuzzy and possibly headed to court if an additional $17m is on the line.
