FCS Playoffs committee chair Jermaine Truax said the committee elected to award the home playoff game to Weber State based on performance, rather than a financial bid.
"We're looking at several different factors," said Truax, a five-year committee member from Bucknell. "One is a financial factor. One is a team performance factor. One is a student-athlete experience factor. When we looked for North Dakota and Weber, everything was on par as far as the student-athlete experience, so what it boiled down to was financials and team performance.
"In this case, North Dakota put in a very strong financial bid. No issues. They put their best foot forward. Nothing wrong with the bid. It was a strong financial offer, although we don't disclose those numbers. Ultimately, what won the day was the team performance."
