The Sicatoka Posted October 4, 2023 Author Share Posted October 4, 2023 As expected, the following was voted to be effective today: Quote Division I membership requirements The council also adopted changes to membership requirements for Football Bowl Subdivision schools that: Eliminate attendance requirements at FBS schools (effective immediately). Increase the application fee for transitioning from FCS to FBS from $5,000 to $5 million (effective immediately). Require all FBS programs to provide 90% of the total number of allowable scholarships over a two-year rolling period across 16 sports, including football. FBS schools will also be required to fund 210 scholarships each year, amounting to no less than $6 million annually (effective August 2027). For schools that begin transitioning to FBS in 2024-25 or later, requirements must be met by the conclusion of the transition process. https://www.ncaa.org/news/2023/10/4/media-center-di-council-approves-changes-to-notification-of-transfer-windows.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted October 4, 2023 Author Share Posted October 4, 2023 Eliminate attendance requirements at FBS schools (effective immediately). <- Works in UND's favor; Alerus capacity no longer an issue. Increase the application fee for transitioning from FCS to FBS from $5,000 to $5 million (effective immediately). <- call @gfhockey; he'll cover it. Straight cash homie! Require all FBS programs to provide 90% of the total number of allowable scholarships over a two-year rolling period across 16 sports, including football. <- UND doing that today. FBS schools will also be required to fund 210 scholarships each year, amounting to no less than $6 million annually (effective August 2027). <- Adding 22 scholarships for FBS (63 to 85) puts UND over 210; awarding $6M now, before the Alston Awards program. For schools that begin transitioning to FBS in 2024-25 or later, requirements must be met by the conclusion of the transition process.

fightingsioux4life Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Will these new requirements force any current FBS schools to drop down to FCS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask me in August 2027 (like it says the effective date for existing members is). My guess? There are some low-budget southern schools that will struggle to do $6M in grants.

I'm sure Heather Weems probably wouldn't appreciate it either. That being said, Fenton, Weems and Viverito will all be doing a panel at the UND Booster Luncheon Friday at the Memorial Union and taking questions.

Ouch. They should seriously look at forming a new D2 league with Minot, Mary, Black Hills State, SD Mines, Chadron, and MSU Billings. Would cut down travel for all of them and be a more competitive environment with roughly similar schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you see a league that looks like this at some point? Mary Minot Jamestown Hills Mines Chadron Dickinson (it's either this or the Frontier) Valley City (It's either this or the Frontier...which would be even worse for VC than Dicky) Dakota State (D2 ambitions) MSU Billings (Cut Travel - no football) BSC - (See new arena renderings and 4 year college ambitions) This would put Mayville in a very bad spot, but I don't think they could swing a move up. Heck, I'm very unsure that VC and even Dicky could. But this is workable from a travel standpoint. It'll be interesting to see if something like this happens or if the NSIC goes back to 16. I'm not sure the Mankato's and Duluth's of the world will want to be in a conference with UJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
