B1G?

3 regular season football games and 3 regular season basketball games plus the championship game for each sport on CBS along with whatever a consistent regular-season presence on CBS Sports is. Guessing that isn't going to be a real big contract.

For what purpose? Sac St.'s waiver is likely to be denied as the oversight committee recommended against the waiver. Would be a surprise if the D1 council overrides that. Neither approach seems to be working. Either you are in a desirable location for a specific conference or you aren't...

Trying to build back after the decimation of the flood followed by a decade plus of not aggressively pushing to get new (especially large) employers in town? I think the latter has changed a bit the last few years, hopefully it pays off. This was a large detriment as well.

Not quite, still a chance for someone to step up and save it. TBD if that happens. Tough location on the north end though.

No clue. There are plenty of easier teams than those from the MVFC or Big Sky that P4 teams can schedule but the FCS teams want to play as regional as they can for recruiting and fan purposes. I'm sure there is value in that from the FCS side. Without seeing the contracts, who knows if they are even apples to apples? If it was that simple, why did NDSU agree to only $25K more that they would have got 8 years prior (2020 vs 2028), but still $5K less than Montana State is getting this season when the OU/MSU contract was signed a year before NDSU renegotiated? Shouldn't NDSU have been able to get more for a 2028 game since they knew the "going rate" for a 2025 game? Looks like both USD (ISU) and SDSU (Nebraska) didn't reschedule their FBS games for 2020, however there were already future meetings scheduled between both of them. MSU (Utah) also looked like they lost their FBS games from that year without rescheduling and I don't think UM had one scheduled. Again, this seems like a stretch to be upset about but whatever I guess.

Exit fee is equal to one year of operating expenses, which is typically north of $1 million. Not sure how high it has gotten recently.

Don't know? Seems to be mostly in line with quite a few other Big 12 schools, which was the question. Ndsu got an extra $25k kicking a game out 8 years and are still getting less that Youngstown is this year. Of things to complain about, this seems pretty low on the list

Comparable to quite a few others based on this list. https://www.si.com/college/fcs/fcs-football-news/how-much-are-fcs-teams-getting-paid-for-fbs-matchups-in-2025

They are all listed somewhere around here and all seem to be relatively comparable. No clue what the scheduling options were at the time or how negotiations went. Most P4's are scheduling 5-10 years out and UND already had its other 3 non-conference games for 2025 full and no FBS game in 2025 yet. Its also one of the few "midwest" P4 schools that UND continues to try to schedule and its relatively drivable for fans. NDSU had a similar issue with their Oregon game. Cancelled in fall of 2020, amended the contract in spring of 2021 all the way out to 2028. They got an extra $25,000 out of it so didn't fare much better.

Correct. They amended the date of the game but not the guarantee amount, which is why it is a bit lower than some of the other games. No clue if UND had any negotiating power on that or both sides just agreed to keep it on the schedule later with the same payout. Given UND was still playing spring football at the time and no one knew what was going on, guessing they both just agreed to move it down the road a few years.

The original contract was signed in 2016 to be played in 2020. With no FCS fall season, the game was rescheduled to 2025.

In hockey, exactly what revenue do schools have to share outside of the the B1G schools? Everyone else operates at a deficit and throw in the potential Title IX implications that were being floated around and i the numbers work even less. A lot of it depends on the final language in the settlement but within the NCAA, the realistic schools that have revenue to share are going to be the P4 and even then, not all of them. I don't see the legislature taking a favorable look at UND/NDSU asking for additional state support for the schools while increasing the deficits within the athletic departments.

A+ human being and selfless teammate who embraced his role. 3rd or 4th and Q was pretty much automatic.
