A new and better FBS thread

What western conference reorganizations are you referring to?

The domino effect of a PAC media deal, good or bad, potentially reshuffling the PAC membership (stay or go), then any impact on MWC, then who knows.

Its still "subsidized", its just that the majority of funds come from student tuition and fees I believe.

Basically all the FCS and G5 schools lose money, they just sort of shuffle around how it's accounted for. Some get more direct state funding, and some wrap it into the student's bills. This fact is why I think the notion of paying athletes large salaries outside of P5 is a bit ridiculous. There's literally no "profit" for the schools, its all subsidized.

If we're going to have a fit of fiscal honesty, only about the top 20-25 or FBS pay their own way (meaning by gates and TV and no university based support).

That could happen but it is looking like maybe there will be no movement at all.

In China? What if you want tea in a glass, iced, or a mug?

That becomes more likely each day.

It will surprise people when it happens
NDSU will get their shot in FBS
It will be better that way
In the meantime I will enjoy FCS

Pretty much this. As much complaining as I do about FCS, it’s not that I refuse to watch it. I just think we’re capable of a lot more and I’m not that impressed that a state university is able to dominate the Minot States and Jamestown U’s of the rest of the country.

Winning literally all the time is fun and good playoff games are awesome. Although we’re running out of good playoff games…

Things may slow down on the reshuffling, but the only thing thats constant in FBS is change. MWC will have an opening, whether its this year, or 2025/2026. San Diego St will leave at their first opportunity, they may have just jumped the gun a bit.

Playoffs and Frisco will still be fun. Just wish the cards had aligned differently for our home games this year. Not sure any of those games will be real contests. Definitely need to be alternating the UND/SDSU games.
