The CFP is a long-shot. And even if you somehow qualified for that, you would run into upper-level FBS teams with way more depth and athleticism. It's fool's gold. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kab Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 Don’t the teams that make a bowl game have to purchase so many tickets whether their fans buy them or not ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewUndFan Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 I agree with you about possibly playing for a lame bowl game at the end of the year is not as exciting as the playoffs in FCS. The only problem is during the rest of the year. The FCS already feels watered down and when fans get bored with the FCS schools we are playing year after year and stop coming to games is where you will have a problem. Look at attendance at NDSU games. Beating teams by large margins also gets boring. If the other powerhouse FCS teams wouldnt have moved up it would make FCS alot more exciting. Now I feel like the Dakotas and Montanas are just left on the sidelines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would give the Mon-Dak 6 some bargaining power. They could either form their own conference or secure a home in an existing conference looking to expand. This is the only way FBS will happen for the Mon-Dak 6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodakvindy Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 It's pretty clear that at this point only the B1G and the SEC actually matter, so not sure why any school would be looking to spend more at this point, as you'll never make it back. Purely about ego. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zonadub Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 It seems that the real question, then, is what do the University Presidents think? Especially as a group. is it better to be a big fish in a smaller pond and qualify for FCS playoffs? Or is it better to play on Tuesdays for national tv exposure and end up in a small-time week day bowl game? Is it worth the money? In the end, if the XDSUs and Montanas move up, UND better not get left behind again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kab Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 When I channel surf regular season or bowl games if it’s g5 teams I very seldom will watch, unless it’s a western team like Boise ‘way too many bowl games with teams barely over 500 record for the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
