Hammersmith Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 11 minutes ago, Bison06 said: Interesting. I wonder what the circumstances of the game were. The typical arrangement is pay for play for FCS schools to travel to FBS schools. Wonder if Yale paid Army to travel to them. It was part of the 100th anniversary of the Yale Bowl(stadium). Yale and Army have been playing on and off since 1893, and their games were often some of the biggest games of their eras. I don't know if Yale paid Army, or if Army agreed to do it just because of the history and that they're a public institution. I do know Army needed a waiver from the NCAA to allow a win over Yale to count as a win toward bowl eligibility(since Yale doesn't officially offer scholies), though it didn't matter because Yale actually won the game in OT. I can also remember WKU playing a couple FCS away games, but that was because they were transitioning to FBS or had just finished(like the scenario you guessed at before.)

And thats a problem because other schools wont spend that money? Sounds like sour grapes or excuses. May be both.. Not NDSUs fault. No need to be angry.

Yeah, NDSU is funding the football stuff at a high level but I dont think its anything outrageous. I'd also venture to say football success is generally pretty well correlated with funding.

I'm hoping they have some packages installed where he throws the ball as it could be a well timed trick play later in the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
