A new and better FBS thread

[B.Schlossman Fan Club]

A fraud by collusion against the defectors would be lucrative for the others.

What rule says they can’t have those conversations? Prove that it is illegal. Cal and Stanford would still have to stoop to that level which may not happen

It will want to cherry pick the teams with the most value. Air Force, Colorado State, Boise and San Diego State

You got 3 of 4.
CaliStan wouldn't tolerate Boise State and their below average academics.

Based on what criteria? Not sure about Idaho, but NDSU doesn't currently meet the new FBS requirements. Not undoable but looking at the math and needing to add $1 million in student aid when you're already fully funded looks like another women's sport likely needs to be added somewhere.

What new FBS requirements? You mean one of a thousand proposals that hasn't even been scheduled for a vote?

What rule says they can’t have those conversations?

Talk? Sure.
The minute they begin to act as a group to willfully withhold exit fees that's conspiracy.
Also, most conferences have disclosure by-laws that require you to disclose if you've received an offer or are in talks. It normally requires abstention from voting.

No, the "fund 90% of grants in all sponsored sports, 210 total grants, $6M in grants, 16 sports" proposal scheduled for vote in September. It also does away with the 15k average attendance rule completely.

The MAC pushed for elimination of "15k"; the trade to get it was the 210 grants for $6M requirements.

If we can raise 58 million for the new IPF, adding 1 million in student aid is a foregone conclusion

I don't think that will be a problem. At the rate they're growing the endowments, a good portion will be funded automatically each year, with the goal of having all scholarships funded by endowments.

If you're already fully funded, who are you going to give them to? 22 more football scholarships doesn't get you there.

Add a sport, I suppose.
