rams80 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 http://en.allexperts.com/q/College-Football-2792/ncaa-div-1-qualifications.htmAha, found some info on the subject of becoming D-1A/FBS football. The minimum average attendance for all home games looks to be 15,000:"20.9.6.3 Football-Attendance Requirements. The institution annually shall average at least 15,000 in actual attendance for all home football games. Yea... I was gonna say, it's 15,000. Playing at Union Park (I don't know or care what the shill name is) is a smart move for Nova... especially if they can pack the place, which shouldn't be all that hard. Temple's probably kicking themselves as to why they didn't think of it sooner. In fact, why does Temple even still play football... has Bill Cosby threatened to stop funneling money to the school or something?It's the best reminder the school exists post John Chaney and the football team actually hasn't been craptacular the last year and a half, winning 9 games last year.

oddball Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 It's a good thing BYU is going independent next year, because with the way they are playing this year, no one would want them, not even your local pee-wee league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 So when UNC gets the death penalty in Football does the ACC blow up like the old SWC did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I don't think they will blow up so much as quietly disband and take up something more to their speed.Shuffleboard looks promising.

Why not give your schools the advantage of having just played at the Rose Bowl? (Not that much of an advantage is needed to beat a Big Ten team in a bowl game nowadays.) But if I had to put money on it, I'd say they'll use the Big XII method of rotating the game between the NFL stadiums in its footprint.Of course, the Bay Area makes the most geographic sense if/when the Niners new stadium ever gets built.

pianoknight Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 SJ Mercury- News Previews the Pac-10 President's Meeting This WeekI can see why the California Quartet of USC, UCLA, Stanford and Cal would rather not be split up. I think the Pac 10 needs to look at the BigTen and consider a model that tries to maintain rivalries. IMO, the zipper format is probably best.Onto the ACC. If/When the day of the super-conference comes, do you see the ACC surviving? I think if the SEC expanded to 16 teams, they would easily take Florida State and Miami, and probably Clemson and Georgia Tech, too. By doing that, every team in the league would be guaranteed at least one in-state rival.On the northern side, I could then see the BigTen making a play for Virginia Tech and maybe Boston College, but who else? Maryland, Virginia? I think if that day comes, Duke and North Carolina might join the BigEast to even FURTHER push that league's basketball dominance. Quote 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.
