Honest questions - especially since we have the "least subsidized thread" running
1. Where is the interest for these programs going to come from? Sure some of those schools have large enrollments...
It's all a dumb accounting game and which box gets checked.
UNI has a continual fight between athletics and academia over the 4 million dollars a year UNI gets from the university "general fund"....
Yeah. Again, the HS I went to is lucky to have 100 kids total between grades 9-12 in any given year. There are 363 high schools in Iowa and mine HS is 311th in enrollment.
The gym is mirrored on...
The Northeast and west coast is littered with tiny HS gyms.
There are some in the Midwest, but in general the schools between the Appalachians and Rockies at least attempt to have actual D1...
The NCAAT shares come nowhere close to offsetting costs.
Each conference can set their own rules for how the money is shared - but most split it evenly among all teams but the team(s) that earn...
I watch a lot...and I mean a lot, I can't describe how much honestly...of college basketball and almost exclusively at the mid and low major level. The amount of D1 "arenas" that would be marginal,...
Valley is at 11 again with WIU going OVC.
The rest of the NCAA can rejoice for an extra bid.
No I'm not.
A NCAA sponsored event taking an automatic bid away from an NCAA sanctioned conference champion beacuse that champion isn't "good enough" is what you're advocating.
Fine. We then...
Then we need to remove the autobid from basketball.
Sorry, YSU. I know you're having a good year and have a 99% chance of taking the autobid from the Horizon this year but guess what? In the big...
WKU has been chasing the laser since they moved in 06 and they are going to end up where they should have been from the start.
IIRC both WKU and MTSU were essentially a done deal to the MAC but...
A bit of a blip this year.

Moving forward both are in the same position. Both leagues are extremely good at the top, the middle makes or breaks the league, and the bottom is...well...the bottom.
Both are going to be...
Highly doubt. We have good rivalries in the MVC that are strong because of the MVC. We have no history with anyone in the A10 outside of LUC from their few years in the Valley. They Valley is a...
WKU will be the 14th MAC school
It will be the conference that it should have been for the last decade but neither UMASS nor WKU was willing to admit it was their best home.
Also, this will...
What that promo tells me is that FBS move didn't generate the burst of interest and sales that you'd think would come with such a move
The A10 is at 15, outside of adding 1 more to get to 16 because "even number" they are so large I can't imagine they want to do too much expanding.
They are a 1, maybe 2, bid max, league if the...
Of the core sports that every/near every conference sponsors and the conference net/RPI rankings (most recent year rankings)
FB 16 of 17 in FCS - ahead of only Pioneer
MBB 31 of 33 - ahead of...
Morehouse is private, are they not? There isn't much/any state funding.
They are going to have to double, minimum, their budgets but that still leaves both of them sub-12, which is still bottom...
I normally disagree when the Dakota fans (mostly, but also Montana and a few others at times) talk about the FCS becoming watered down and a shell....I'm getting close to joining them.
Morehouse's...
I'd bet if you asked 100% of UNI fans a generic "Who is Issac Fruechete?" type question about 30 of us would even remember the name. Even fewer could tell you he coached at UNI, fewer yet, which...
Hold up
YSU and SIU get "championship level" tags because they won a title 27 and 40 years ago? I guess it's technically correct, but damn what a bar to set.
Idaho State is also a championship...
Right. I wasn't meaning to respond to you directly, per se. It was just you were the most recent post and had quoted both posts. I'm also 99% sure because everything the SLF idea comes up there is...
I could be wrong - but doesn't a league, at the FCS level, need 6 full time all sports members to qualify as a AQ sport for a league to use is as one of the AQ counters? The MVFC, CAA, Big-OVC,...
Tiny ass broke private school in butt **** nowhere.
They should be D2/D3 as an athletics department. They sure as **** aren't adding football.
