"Actually the schedule for separating the "Big Heads" (as I like to call them) from the rest of NCAA football will accelerate after NDSU beats Kansas State."

No. The Big 12 should let us play whoever we damn well please.

No. The Big 12 should let us play whoever we damn well please.

Given the millions of dollars our TV partners are paying us for each game, I'm okay with them having a lot of input into the types of games we schedule.  If ESPN/FOX tells the Big 12 'no more FCS games' and the Big 12 adopts that as a rule, I'd be more than fine with that.

KU, Iowa State, FCS, Texas...all the same to me.

if Fox doesn't want us scheduling FCS we say yes dad and don't schedule them

BIG SCHOOLS afraid of a LOSS to a smaller school.    *YAWN*   Minnesota, KU, Colo State all wish they didn't have to play NDSU.

The fcs game is almost always the 1 game schools get to broadcast themselves on T3.  I honestly don't even know if a big12-fcs game has ever been nationally televised.  The difference between fcs and sunbelt on t3 is pretty negligible, imo.

Pretty elite that our game vs FCS North will be nationally televised, seems like other Big 12 games vs 1AA teams are either not on TV at all or PPV only

I tell them we play two fcs schools and one big name but they have to play in Manhattan.

I agree. Playing a program like NDSU is basically a charitable donation by our athletic department and they should be applauded for it.

I know, rite!

It's like this dude sat down and wrote out a list of the worst D1 teams over the last decade.

[Mr_BONES]

Only if the SEC does, too.

Still trying to figure out why the SEC doesn't catch more crap for only playing eight conference games despite having 14 teams.  That's one of the biggest jokes in college football.

Most people don't get Fox College Sports, though, and most people who do get it don't even realize it exists. Fox Sports 1 will be a major channel intended to compete directly with ESPN. This is a big deal, and you should be proud your school decided to step it up against a blue blood like Kansas State to get that kind of exposure.

Does Playing FCS schools hurt the image of our conference?
