Been gone a few weeks bros are we fbs yet

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.

UND sure as hell better hope that gets adopted.
Lots easier to spend money than hit the 15k average up there.

We'll be fine either way.

I've wondered about this a lot recently. There are some teams, especially in the SEC, that don't increase the value of the conference, but are getting a full share of the pie. Curious to see how long it lasts or if we start seeing more performance based sharing, like the ACC is going to do.

I'm not sure how each school does in other sports, but even SEC football teams probably like having some easier games on the schedule once in a while.

Kevin. I'm over my hangover. I will be using all of my online resources and hook ups to get this done within 48 hours.

I'll post my venmo when I'm done, and you fans come compensate me accordingly.

I'm ALL IN

Conference value is sometimes measured in ways beyond wins and losses in football.
Basketball performance (Duke), rich recruiting territory (Texas schools), media market that increases the payout (Rutgers), academic prestige (Vanderbilt), etc.

Having said that, there are definitely some schools pushing for higher compensation.
Boise St got their own special deal, FSU wants more, Oregon and UW would have likely had unequal sharing if they stayed in PAC.

It is also likely you will see more performance based payouts in the P5 conferences.
Less common in G5, but they have a smaller pie to start with.

Big 12 rumor…

Hearing Oregon State and San Diego State have had very preliminary talks with the Big 12 over the last 48 hours. Key word is preliminary and it would be at discounted rates.

Big 12 rumor…

If you're the B12, how does adding Oregon State make any sense? SDSU makes sense, along with their rumored interest in UCONN to a degree. I'd be very surprised if they do add Oregon State.

Hopefully it doesn't happen and we see something like a Cal, Stanford, Oregon St, Washington St, Hawaii, Air Force, Colorado State, SDSU, UNLV, and Utah State/Fresno State PAC-10, which opens up the MWC for NDSU. Playing Boise St, Wyoming, SJSU, Nevada, Utah State/Fresno State, and New Mexico, with FCS call ups would interest me. It isn't perfect, but it's a significant improvement over FCS and CUSA.

... SDSU makes sense, ...

I think they're one of the best available non P2 out there after Notre Dame and Stanford.
The BXII would get SoCal market and ASU and UA would get back to their primary recruiting areas.

Because the Big 16, Big 18 and SEC are in “watch the world burn” mode and this is just more ridiculous anarchy to add to the madness? I mean if you’re going to take OSU, why not take WSU? Lol
