coachacola Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 I've read that the ncaa loses money each year on the FCS playoffs. Probably only Montana and Appalachian State make money their games. Between losing money and no publicity is it any wonder why schools want to move to FBS?

coachacola Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 I read that schools under-report attendance because the NCAA takes a big cut of that money. The FCS championship is in Frisco, TX this year at a pro soccer stadium that holds maybe 25K. I think the SHSU-Montana State game is on one of the ESPN channels this weekend so we'll see if they can at least fill up the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForeverADog Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Way to put a lot of effort into your picks! Haha I thought the games went based off of the seeding. Sam Houston is #1 so should have home field throughout? I'm not sure ??? Mt pick is Maine. Its such a crappy state something good is bound to happen.

puddin tane Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 i think (if they both keep winning), Sam would have to play Montana..and i think it would be played at wherever the highest bidder comes from..which is usually Montana..

ForeverADog Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Anyone see this Montana game? They are killing Northern Iowa in front of 25000 screaming, standing fans in 15 degree weather. That is why no team can win there! Great atmosphere.

j_dog Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Don't know for sure about the QB. But the word last week was that whatever the injury was it was minor. My impression was that it was some kind of cut that they taped up at halftime. What I heard was that he could have played the second half if needed. Again, not sure. Hope he can play. They will need everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
