Creating a CFB NIT ensures G5s are left out of the CFP
Creating a CFB NIT ensures G5s are left out of the CFP
A lot of D1 schools don't really want to be D1. They're not actually competing for championships at this level. They can't. They know they can't. They welcome the divide.I think they have figured that out already, which is why they are discussing a CFB NIT.
Agreed. They can dream... and maybe the winner of that "NIT" gets a wild card entry of some sort. But they have no other shot. They don't have the money, and the system will make sure they don't get into the playoff even if they have a dream season.I think they have figured that out already, which is why they are discussing a CFB NIT.
Maybe a few administrators want a polite exit that other stakeholders (alumni, sponsors, etc) don't want but for the most part they do want to be in D1. They all want the national attention and to be part of the conversationA lot of D1 schools don't really want to be D1. They're not actually competing for championships at this level. They can't.

A second rung tournament is a nonstarter for any program that doesn't consider itself a clownshowI think they have figured that out already, which is why they are discussing a CFB NIT.
Agree. Why should UConn be in the Jv league while Rutgers, Indiana, wake forest etc. Be in the varsity?A second rung tournament is a nonstarter for any program that doesn't consider itself a clownshow
Good question... one that should have been addressed a decade or so ago.Agree. Why should UConn be in the Jv league while Rutgers, Indiana, wake forest etc. Be in the varsity?
How so?Good question... one that should have been addressed a decade or so ago.

They all suck but we pile up natties in Men’s and Women’s bball like cordwood. We are also pretty good at football when given a level playing field.Records since 2019 (excludes 2020 due to UConn cancelling the season):
Rutgers 18-32 Winning Seasons - 1
Indiana 17-32 Winning Seasons - 1
Wake 31-21 Winning Seasons - 3
UConn 12-37 Winning Seasons - 0
How so?
Edit: conceding to failure may be your choice. If it is, thank you for your interest in Connecticut athletics
He's a BCU troll.

I know that a lot of people here don’t like this kind of talk considering the current state of conference realignment. That said objectively the divide between the top and bottom of the current FBS is much wider on the field than the bottom of FBS and the top of FCS. The separation has happened in everything except name at this point.A lot of D1 schools don't really want to be D1. They're not actually competing for championships at this level. They can't.

Yes, I think FCS is a clownshow if those programs think they're the big time. Its a larp.This argument is just ignorant. Do you think D2 athletes are clownshow? I would like to see you say that to a few D2 football players’ faces.
FCS programs know that they aren't the big time. They play at a lower level in part because the costs to compete are lower. They get to participate in playoffs and the fans of schools that win seem to be proud of their achievements.Yes, I think FCS is a clownshow if those programs think they're the big time. Its a larp.
A G5 tournament is a freaking larp.
who doesn't love nerf swords?Yes, I think FCS is a clownshow if those programs think they're the big time. Its a larp.

One of my favorite awful movies is that big brother movie where stifler and Fogle are in it and they do that LARP in Central Park, and they dress up as KISS.who doesn't love nerf swords?
MINOTAURRRRRRRRRRRR TASTE THE BEAST!One of my favorite awful movies is that big brother movie where stifler and Fogle are in it and they do that LARP in Central Park, and they dress up as KISS.
LOL.
I have snowbird neighbors from the Dakotas and MontanaFCS programs know that they aren't the big time. They play at a lower level in part because the costs to compete are lower. They get to participate in playoffs and the fans of schools that win seem to be proud of their achievements.
I expect the G5 will have a similar thought process. There is nothing wrong with playing competitive football with likeminded schools.
