Re: UNI to the MAC following Temple's exit?

Do you realize teams actually have to PAY to play in the lower tier bowl games?

only because they spend more than they get from the bowl.

do the teams in the FCS championship get any money?

The liberty bowl actually cost Central Florida $1.1 million dollars in 2010.

No...most years UNI is lucky to break even in the playoffs

I honestly don't know if the teams get a check, but I will be surprised if they don't. What else would the NCAA do with the TV and ticket revenue?

I'll bet every penny I have that NDSU didn't write a $1MM check to play in the NC game last year.

much of the NCAA's cut of the ticket revenues and TV money (which I'm fairly sure is nowhere near the TV money that is paid for the typical BCS game) goes towards covering the travel costs for the road teams throughout the playoffs, and other such expenses

Re: UNI to the MAC following Temple's exit?

We have more women's sports than men's, isn't that enough?

No, it's based on the number of scholarships. There are ways around it, especially if you are making progress toward evening out the numbers. Dannen has said that we would likely need to add another women's sport at some point. Going FBS would probably mean adding two women's sports. I just don't see that as a realistic option in this economic enviornment.

I believe that is why the rugby team was rumored to be moving varsity.

However, rightfully so for the program, it has stayed club for now.


It's also why bowling was rumored to be coming to UNI at one point

Re: UNI to the MAC following Temple's exit?

Is the Dome's capacity even big enough for the MAC? Not looking for average MAC attendance here. I just seem to remember a rule about how your stadium must be a certain size.

Re: UNI to the MAC following Temple's exit?

The capacity isn't a question. Its average home attendance. The way MAC teams get around that is by "hosting" games at NFL stadiums. For example Kansas State @ Northern Iowa - Played at Arrowhead Stadium. Keep enough of the money to pay our own expenses, bribe K-State for the rest for coming to play us. We wear purple, they wear white. Walla, magically we just added 45,000 people for a home game that year. Boosts the average considerably.

FAU did that same thing to Michigan State a year or two ago...played them at Ford Field

So another likely scenario would be Northwestern at UNI played at Soldier Field?

Re: UNI to the MAC following Temple's exit?

BTW, I'm all for K-State vs. UNI at Arrowhead!

Northwestern doesn't draw at home. If you want to play at Soldier, it would have to be against Iowa, Wisconsin, or Notre Dame.

We need an outdoor stadium.
