A new and better FBS thread

[NI4NI]

Doesn't matter what they want. This is a football university. If football requires the other sports to march off a cliff, we will hear the marching.

If a coach objects, just fire them.

This is what I was asking. If we get an invite, do we control our own destiny? Or can those inside our own camp sabotage this?

I hope not, and think the only argument they could make would be budget oriented. If we have the money, there is no good argument against. I suppose they could argue excessive travel and "student athlete welfare", but that's lame. That came up for schools like Stanford, but ultimately wasn't a winning argument.

Virtually any FBS situation is better than the summit and would likely include pay raises to go along with better recruiting and competition. So if have a hard time seeing any individual coaches “going against it”. At the end of the day football pays the bills and if you’re curious what might happen in your scenario, one can find out by undermining leadership wherever they work and see what happens. Making a move like this also would likely include more scholarships for the non football sports instead of less, so it really would be a net benefit for all.

The answer is much more simple, all possible situations have been vetted and we would be ready to make a decision in pretty short order. And unless it’s a situation where a conference wanted to withhold payments from us but still wanted us to join, I’d have to assume the answer is yes.

If you aren’t depressed enough about still being in the FCS pick your favorite site/app and take run through FCS scores. Tell me those schools don’t get you pumped up for big time football!!!!!!!

So if last night's game doesn't draw the attention of MWC or MAC commissioners, I don't think anything will.

Gloria & Goeff should be in a bidding war over NDSU & SDSU this week.
The thing is, they are guaranteed one of those nail biters every season! If that ain't good TV, what is?

I'm curious what the viewership numbers will be. Georgia was handling Texas and I don't think any other games were nailbiters. Casual fans may have tuned in to our game.

Congratulations on your win last night. Always sweet to beat your rival.

Even sweeter when that rival is the defending series champion and currently rated at #1!

Hopefully you tuned in to see what your list is missing…

I did not see the game. Just saw the score.

I have no doubt that top FCS teams can make the transition for football. Many have. Hard to say who the MW is targeting at this moment. Lots of discussions about lots of scenarios taking place. But you do have an outstanding football program.
