... and away we go .....

Having second thoughts on this.

Looking at chatter on other boards and reading more on what the author of the proposal thinks, the number of schools being kicked around as being able to "opt-in" to this deal is closer to 100.

If that many schools are going to do this, I would want to be in that group.

There is roughly 300 scholarship athletes at FBS programs. Nearly $10M per year in this proposal.

The minimum is 30k/person for HALF of the people you have. Anywhere from 6-8 mill is what people are throwing around. Again, the guy that wrote this proposal thinks around 100 schools would opt in to this.

That would be the P5 plus Big East schools and a good portion of the MWC/AAC plus whoever else steps up like Liberty.

The proposal says they are creating another subdivision, but what they really are doing is moving the goal posts to be 1-A, FBS or whatever they want to call it.

I would hope we could stay with the service academies and most of the top G5 schools. I wouldn't want to be excluded from those schools.

Will we still be committed to being 1-A in every way?

[CajunVic]

. . . there will always be a need for the halves to get 3 or 4 easy wins . . .

The only way to do that is to access a student fee of $25/credit hour, capped at 12 hours.

If our student body was serious the. That’s the only way to go. But they of course would vote it down. Then on the off chance it would pass, T-Joe would cut the general fund transfer and auxiliary fees.

So the short answer would be, no we are not serious.
