    All Things 2025 College Football D2 and D3 Thread

    I wonder if there is a lead sponsor on this? Often times these campaigns are quiet looking for larger, lead sponsors, before going public.

    Shama: Gophers Football Season Ticket Sales Down Slightly from 2024; third consecutive year of decline in public season tickets

    I think you're correct - although I wouldn't bet on it - that they could sell out the stadium if all season tickets were $10 per game. But the U didn't implement fee increases to drive down the number of season ticket holders and as noted above, it didn't implement the final fee increase when...

    Dan Lanning shares Oregon has spoken with Big Ten about uneven preparation in his team's schedule (Lanning cites Gopher game)

    PJ should howl about the disparity in philanthropy, NIL and 4* and 5* players.

    Game 3 Uniforms

    I hope so too. I like the white hats and pants, but white doesn't mean gold needs to banished and I'm glad gold shows up even when white is prominent. I'm an SDSU fan. The school song recites "yellow and blue" but the last five years, there's hardly any yellow in the uniforms to be found...

    Shama: Gophers Football Season Ticket Sales Down Slightly from 2024; third consecutive year of decline in public season tickets

    Is it a haircut or passed on to the consumer or both? Sales tax is collected by the vendor but paid by the consumer. The vendor can lower prices but I've seen no evidence at sporting events that that is the case.

    Shama: Gophers Football Season Ticket Sales Down Slightly from 2024; third consecutive year of decline in public season tickets

    The first part of this is spot on. The secondary market makes it a lot easier to get into the games a person wants to attend and come out ahead financially. I had season tickets before the fee increase but even then found it difficult to even give away some game tickets.

    Shama: Gophers Football Season Ticket Sales Down Slightly from 2024; third consecutive year of decline in public season tickets

    Other schools can and do charge season ticket holders more for big revenue games. If the U could sell out the stadium with season tickets, they would in a heartbeat.

    Non-Conference Scheduling

    This is all trickling out long after the fact. I think this scenario would have played out in the event that UNLV and Air Force left the MWC. The MWC would have in effect paid the $5 million fee to move from FCS to FBS for each school plus some additional sums for further investment in FB at...

    Non-Conference Scheduling

    There are somewhat reliable sources of xDSUs to MWC, with the move funded by MWC exit fees but MWC ended up paying significant sums to AF and UNLV to stay put.

    Non-Conference Scheduling

    My preference is for interesting football. I turned off NWSt at the quarterand turned on the big Iowa matchup. I would prefer no FCS but if FCS is going to be scheduled, by far the most interesting matchups would be xDSU followed by UxD obviously because of regional interest and program...

    All about Max Brosmer Making the Cut

    Another quarter of that crap and I'll start the "play Brosmer" movement.

    Non-Conference Scheduling

    Tops of 2 home exhibition and likely moving to 1. Then 8 or 9 games against NFL teams. Compared to a couple of nonpeer CFB games and maybe one OOC peer game + 4-5 B1G games. When B1G/SEC + breaks away, I hope revenue games are done and it's an NFL style grouping and scheduling.

    Non-Conference Scheduling

    I agree that the gap is widening. The first two weeks of FCS has been topsy turvey. Big roster turnover on top teams every year will be the norm.

    Non-Conference Scheduling

    I think the fan enthusiasm diminished because the team was not very good. If the team is an 8.5 win team and still competitive but for the loss to a Dakota, you think the bleachers are still empty?

    Really? If xDSU beats UofM no one shows up for Iowa or Purdue?

    Non-Conference Scheduling

    I'd like to play ISU regularly because it would be an interesting match-up not to wring hands about somethibg none of us were around for.

    Non-Conference Scheduling

    With expanded playoffs, teams shouldn't be afraid to schedule tougher opponents and take a loss. As a fan, I want to see good football. I turned over to the CyHawk game real early on Saturday.
