Whom do you think was probably pushing for that FCS ban? That is why I like to call it "The Minnesota Rule". That last butt-kicking at the hands of NDSU was the final straw for them. If Minnesota was behind it, why did they continue to schedule FCS teams after losing to NDSU? They played another four FCS teams after losing that game as recently as last year. I would bet that the B1G Network had something to do with it. The B1G is now playing 9 conference games, plus an additional game against a P5, leaving 2 games for G5 teams. What games are going to look better for TV/strength of schedule, games against Navy and SMU, or Navy and Indiana St? I don't think losing games to NDSU made them happy though, no doubt.

How many of those games were signed before the final NDSU game? Serious question, as I have no idea. It just seemed funny that the anti-FCS rule came out right around the time NDSU was blowing out Minnesota at TCF Bank Stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually came from the B1G commish to have stronger schedules and make B1G contenders more attractive for the college football playoff. Minnesota played New Hampshire in 2012, Eastern Illinois in 2014, Indian State last year, and will play South Dakota State in 2019 and I believe only the New Hampshire game was scheduled before the last loss to NDSU so that loss to NDSU had absolutely nothing to do with it. Yeah nobody was happy with losing to NDSU but at that time people understood the program wasn't in great shape as it was Kill's 1st season and Brewster had left the program in terrible shape.

Kennedy wants to copy NDSU and we do so by scheduling a terrible southern team to come up north for an early season whoopin just like they used to do every year.

UNDColorado Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I don't see scheduling MVSU as a bad thing because we already have two tough OOC games. I would be concerned if we had a OOC schedule such as Montana: Valpo, FBS, Savanah State. Sam Houston and Washington will be tough games so in this schedule year a 99.9% chance of a FCS win seems like a smart move to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article in the Heraldo today said that NDSU is opening the 2017 season against MVSU. And the payout is $10,000 more than ours ($240,000 vs. $230,000). ANY FCS team is better than any D-II team or NAIA team. If it counts towards playoff eligibility, then it is worth it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMSioux Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Not assuming a win - cause that is bad karma - but starting off any season with a nice home win will help with the bandwagoners - hopefully by then most are already back on board (again not saying that any game is a guaranteed win as we have seen slow starts the past two years) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVSU isn't a DII team they are a FCS DI and paying them when the consensus on here is to put more money into basketball and football. $230,000 could be use for the basketball coaches and Jones has yet to have a contract.
