A new and better FBS thread

[BigHorns]

Too many people are taking my comment as sincere. I didn’t even think MW was going to happen.

Gotcha. I think we may have to wait until the inevitable split between P2/4 and G6 happens. At that point, things will reorganize.

MAC might decide to expand, but there are also a few rumors floating that MAC has considered dropping back to FCS, and that is part of why NIU bolted. It could be bunk, but FBS is about to get a whole lot more expensive and MAC has a small media deal.

Well, this is one way to go about moving from FCS to FBS (complete opposite of how NDSU admin has handled it): https://x.com/JakeGadon_TV/status/1877127976623427780

We'll see how it works...

The P4 want to take over the NCAA it appears. Of note:

'The proposal from the power conferences does not signal the long-discussed breakaway from the national association, Sankey and other commissioners say, and there remains a commitment to continue to grant broad access to postseason events.'

This part's really interesting:

"The proposal was described by one as an “aggressive solution” that has “real legs,” but by another as having little to no chance to pass in its current iteration. If the power leagues don’t get consensus in a full membership vote, they could withdraw from the association.

However, that presents another problem: The power leagues and NCAA entered into a 10-year agreement as part of the House settlement, binding the entities together through 2035."

Great - if they want to take their ball and run they can take their House settlement with it since the rest of us are helping to pay their bill on that one.

Sure, we have all the control, set the rules, format, access and distributions, but don’t worry, we are committed to maintaining “broad access”.

Watch what they do not what they say.

PAC 12 is looking again.

MWC and AAC are obviously afraid to ADD NDSU at this point, Its clearly obvious they don't want little ol NDSU to walk in and Dominate on DAY 1.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

PAC 12. NDSU GOES ALL IN. YOU CALL PAC 12 and say

"WE WANT IN THE PAC 12, ALL SPORTS WE WILL FORGO THE 1st 3 years of Media $$$ payout if you ALLOW NDSU to keep its local/regional media deal"

However, NDSU keeps all money from the BOWL GAMES we make it to in the first 6 years!


Negotiate This or Whatever else needs to be done, OFFER to pay for their Charter Flights and Hotels. TIME FOR NDSU and FARGO TO GROW UP!!!!!


(if we need to build a on campus stadium or down at the Civic Center and make it a riverfront stadium plaza for business development so be it!!)

“I need to be dictator so that I can make sure it’s fair for everyone” is one of the funniest tricks in the book

I’d like to see a direct quote of Sankey and his NDSU exception to their FCS embargo. Anyone have a link? Third party through McFeely doesn’t count. The only quote I’ve seen from him is 'no more FCS callups', which only happened once NDSU was on the clock. Maybe I missed it ..

Yep, P2/4 are trying to find a way to structure/dump that debt, while keeping lion share of profits and spreading a few crumbs around elsewhere.

Its also becoming clear they view both the G6 and FCS as nothing more than a farm/feeder system. Once a player shows some potential, they will take them.

MSU RB's already grabbing P2/4 offers: https://www.si.com/college/westvirgi...virginia-offer

We're now a farm league for the semi-pros. Deion Sanders outright said it.
