And it looks like SDSU at Oklahoma State might also be on national TV.   Bison game against Colorado is already announced for ESPN.   We sit here with nothing (again).

The "Refine" button works for you also. ;) 

This data doesn't seem to have updated 2023 data for UND or NDSU.  In 2023, UND FB was up to $6,016,711 and NDSU was $6,405,716.

Looks like Knightnewhouse just carried their 2022 info over to 2023 for some of the FCS schools.

Great to hear!  I think we were actually the only FCS game on FS1 last year.

Our game got selected over the OSU / SDSU game which still hasn’t been picked up yet for national tv

I see the Rabbits vs Bizzzzon game is gonna be on ESPN.  Rich keep getting Richer.

The ESPN channel hasn’t been announced, they are up against some big matchups. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s on ESPNU

I’ll take FS1 over ESPN+

Is USD getting too much hype? Feel like anytime I go on twitter I see stuff talking about them in the same breath as the xDSU’s and Montana’s right now. They certainly had a good year last year but it’s only one year removed from a 3-8 year. I know they have Bouman returning but no clue on the D, which I’d say was their strength. They could be legit, just an observation.

They have certainly had the same struggle we have with consistency from season to season.

I think they are a little over hyped and don't expect them to end up in the top 6 coming rankings after the final regular season game. Could be wrong though, we'll see. 

As the the other poster mentioned, they seem to be like us and not be very consistent. I'll be kinda pissed if they actually follow through and back up the hype..... because we have never been able to do that.

Well NIL opened a huge door in college sports. Now the U.S. Court of Appeals  in Philadelphia ruled on a “test” to determine if students are eligible for minimum wage. The court ruled they may be eligible if they perform services for their schools’ benefit in return for express or implied compensation or in-kind benefit. WOW

Do you by any chance have a link to the actual ruling?

No, the articles in the Mpls. Star Tribune this morning. No link or other info. This may have been initial ruling because the article mentioned future rulings/appeals related to some labor laws. It seems some athletes are considering themselves employees based on their games make so much revenue for the schools. Some college athletes have or are organizing into labor unions.,what a mess.

Thus opens up a huge can of worms. Sane should they apply to band cheerleaders etc in the sporting realm but also teaching assistants and other positions doing actual work in support  of the school academic mission.  

At some point I think you will see regular students start pushing back on this. They are paying for this stuff and student loans are at least partially attributable to sports costs.

What are some honest predications for the ND State vs. Colorado game?

I wish it would be a blowout but I think it’ll be close. I think NDSU will be able to run the ball and sustain long drives on offense.
