And big bucks for 85 scholarships, plus higher coaches salaries all for the right to play teams none of their fans care about.

I would love to see the quote in that article that says they needed to cut sports for FBS. The problem for you is that there isn't one. From the article you mention: "Bottom line: Probably the only way UIW can alter the forecast for financial bleeding in its athletic department is to cut back on the number of sports." And: "But such a strategy, experts say, is not a realistic one for a Division I-FCS school with millions in expenses, including funding for 63 football scholarships that can be divided up any way among a maximum of 85 players." The best part of searching for Incarnate Word FBS is that lists your posts on another board, in which we can see everyone else knows you're as crazy as we know.

And not really "split" as much as move down and join EVERYONE in FCS. That doesn't make any sense and for anyone to suggest that means they know little to nothing about FCS.

Michael has shown he runs the best social media sites for any conference in college hockey. Fortunately, he has been given a lot of leeway to add in little jabs here and there. It helps that he knows the people he responds to with pictures like that

Or it had to be cut to meet the massive budget issues facing UND, both as an educational institution and as an athletic department.

I wonder what the window it flew into looks like...

Please come to Europe, please come to Europe, please come to Europe.

Once again, you talk up a source to fit your narrative. In this case, it is a student reporter writing an opinion piece. And in this one, which again is the opinion of a person a few years out of high school, he says the best option right now is to go to the RMAC. However, why can't the Big Sky add one more team? It's not like 11/13 are magic numbers for scheduling. I could see a scenario where CWU goes to the big sky and if the other two move up, they would be part of a WAC FCS conference. But, I don't have the opinion of a 22 year old student to support it, so it's clearly not going to happen.

Very rarely in collegiate sports. There are too many bridges in athletics that you don't want to burn them. Just a few years ago, the WAC was on life support. Now it has some schools without major ties. It's trying to strengthen those ties with schools willing to move up to FCS. Yet, despite that experience in corporate forecasting, you've missed completely and continually with your college sports predictions. You remind me of an orange haired fellow* who thinks his business experience helps him in other venues, yet is the laughing stock of America and the world. When confronted with continuously being wrong, you cry fake news and throw out another crazy idea. Prime example, you declared UND wouldn't go to the Summit, but now they're playing a full Summit schedule. However, you're now claiming it's part of a plot to lure the 4 BS members to the Summit. Those schools you listed are ALSO the most viable move ups if no FBS moves happen. We are talking about a completely new FCS FB conference in the West. When in the last time that happened? *not meant as a political post but the best, and most widely known, comparison I could think of this morning.

Why is it happening? Read the dang reports. In 3 of the 4 cases he mentioned, the schools have all been contacted by the WAC about possibly joining including a WAC FCS football conference. It's in the schools' reports and get SV just can't believe that really is all there is to it.

None of that answered anything I posted. Please tell me, who knows about all of these moves that are about to happen? Presidents would be the first answer obviously but in my experience, most conference moves at least have significant rumours or leaks before any announcement. The second answer is clearly you, somehow. There are so many universities involved in your predictions, someone outside of the presidents must know. Who are they?

Attempting to clarify: The Montanas, Weber and Idaho know they're leaving the BS for the Summit, but need to pretend to be upset that Dixie St. may join the BS because of SUU. The BS doesn't know this is happening because otherwise they would be inviting teams now. However, the WAC knows it is happening and is just pretending to start an FCS conference to get more teams for the BS. The WAC is actually restarting its FBS portion and inviting 7 schools to move up to join NMSU. Yet no consulting reports have been completed by any of those schools. Dixie St, Tarleton and a few others are being scammed by the WAC when they were invited to apply as the WAC knows they'll never take them. But the Big Sky is clueless to the fact they'll lose 5 big schools, plus 2 FB affiliates. However, the WAC is helping the BS because then those schools won't have to do new reports when it comes time to join the BS vs the WAC? Lots of schools and people in the know and not one leak to the press or the Big Sky?

So what other teams are going to join Sam Houston and Lamar in this FCS WAC?

According to the feasibility study, the WAC is looking into starting an FCS football conference.

I'll just standby for any sort of proof of all these predicted moves.

So nervous about a 29 yd FG but it's good. 23-21 UND.

Ket to Wanzek continues to be huge and they've made some great connections through the second and the start of the third.

The WAC invited them to do a study as it says in the article.

You have to go all the way back to 3 years ago to see what happens when the top seeded teams lose in the second round in the same part of the bracket. The team that beats the top rated team then gets to host. Not that difficult to figure out with any type of interneting.

If a 1-8 team loses, that means it goes to the third round of the playoffs in which the highest seeded team then hosts. There are no bids after the first round.

UNI has had bigger attendance in some games but UND has been more full per game than UNI. Hopefully, Chaves sees the importance of bidding big. Lots of people willing to buy tickets for students which can create a bigger sellout and more ticket revenue for UND/NCAA.

If T-Mobile had been 65% full, the gophers would have felt like it was a home game...
