Discrim Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Far as the Celebration Bowl, I still can't get over that NC A&T kid's last huge run off that draw. I mean, that was some Barry Sanders out there.... A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickp91 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 If the Celebration Bowl can grow the way the Florida Classic did, attendance won't ever be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_tattoos Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 A little different in that the Florida Classic is an long time instate (regular season) rivalry game. The Celebration Bowl attendance figures could change drastically depending on which schools are playing in it.SN: Besides FAMU/Bethune Cookman and Grambling/Southern, are any other FCS rivalry games played at a neutral site?

dfwabel Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Contract extended for FCS championship to remain in Frisco, TX through 2020.So how disappointed in this extension are you? You have posted for a few years that Frisco was not good enough IYO and Chattanooga was more appropriate.$hit, people want flights, hotel rooms and things to do. Even Collin County, TX has two major airport access, restaurants galore, hotels at all price points within driving distance of the stadium and teams have fields to practice.

Seadragon76 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 They should move to FBS.Right?They won't. It's a real risky move in terms of finance to make the move to the FBS level.First off, they would need a home. Unless you're Notre Dame, you aren't going to be doing well as an Independent. You would be stuck in that no man's land that BYU and Army (and UMass now that they got the boot from the MAC) are in terms of the Playoff. Thing is that there is really no where they can go.Secondly, it's not cheap to add more scholarships in football. You also have to consider any issues with Title IX involved.

4_tattoos Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 SN: Idaho has been looking into possibly moving down to FCS. I believe the Big Sky Conference has an "open Invitation" for the Vandals football team.

the_grateful_ted Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I think the MAC would be a very good conference for NDSU to settle down. Pretty similar level of competition and good exposure. Now they do they want to? Of course not. But 5 championships in a row is absolutely ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTknight Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Id rather be competing for national championships than crappy low tier corporate sponsered bowl games. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_tattoos Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 sleuthpanther, NDSU is pretty much stuck in FCS. A lot goes into moving up. More than just being successful at the FCS level. Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I figure moving down would be a good move for Idaho, if only because I can't recall the last time Vandals football was relevant outside of that nasty and inebriated thing with Boise State.
