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.)

Army: Michie Stadium, 38000
Yale: Yale Bowl, 64246

Army averages about 31500.
Yale draws about 10000 (except for 50000 versus Harvard). 

Plain old seating logistics?

According to your media guide, no. Army once back in 1930.

There is an FBS going to a FCS in the next 3 years. Read about it recently. Will have to look for it.

How many schools are doing FCOA to the fullest extent in MVFC and Big Sky?  Is there a list?

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.

Yale is Yale. Cant imagine the NCAA is ever gonna bust their balls considering their history. Ditto on Harvard.

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.

OK.....I don't even know, that's why I asked.  I thought UND, SU, and the Jacks are and I don't have a clue if anyone else is.  I am guessing the Montana schools do too.

Simple question.  What schools fully fund FCOA?  Must be a list somewhere.

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.

I sincerely hope we make the playoffs and draw them to come here so I can make signs of this beauty.

 

[Mama Sue]

My God, what team is that? It must be a private school because no one would have approved public money for that.

[Mama Sue]

Got it... Jacksonville State... unbelievable. Is gamecocks their new theme too?

As hilarious as that would be I don’t see that happening this year. PJ has been revamping the Gophers so falling to an FCS team doesn’t seem as easy.

[SiouxFan100]

Notes to the Goph game

bunnies opening kick went four yards into the end zone 

mn right offensive tackle is 6’8. 400 lbs

[SiouxFan100]

Bunnies just tied it up with less than four minutes go in the first half
