OT: 2019 NCAA D1 Football

Re: 2019 NCAA D1 Football

Virginia-Lynchburg will play ten road games, seven of them against FCS schools. They are a NCCAA team and are ineligible to belong to the NCAA or the NAIA. How does a team like this get on an FCS schedule?

Personally, I want the top programs to be more like D2 schools, and for all the crazy stuff like the SEC and Pac-12 and such to move to an NFL minor league.

Agreed, NFL needs a true minor league and D1-FBS football shouldn't be it. NBA has one, NHL has a few, and MLB has several. It would also have players ready to be called up for injuries that have been playing instead just like in the other 3 sports instead of practice squad players.

Okay., the lights then. It also shows how much different the top BCS schools are different than the majority of NCAA football programs. When the media talks about college football, the changes they want would likely hurt all but the very top programs at the BCS level only.

I didn't have that big a problem with the old ones. That was everyone else!

You weren't complaining about the bathroom upgrades!

Sad.

Nebraska, one of the few fully self-sufficient athletic departments in the country, gives $5 million+ per year to the university. (Most of it is earmarked for scholarships for non-athlete students, but some goes to facilities)

That locker room was $28 million. If this was a professional team in a privately held field, I wouldn't even blink, but college athletics has become a monster.

Re: 2019 NCAA D1 Football

The important question is how long has the library been like that and how long before it will be repaired?

Sounds like a long time. This is from 2016:

Basically, they blame the Republican run state government for the 55% aid slashing and tuition and fee increases aren't enough to provide the upkeep.

Re: 2019 NCAA D1 Football

The fact is that LSU had $600 million in building repairs required in 2016, the library was part of that.

Why does it matter? Some people want to be outraged, and facts will not change that for them.

Re: 2019 NCAA D1 Football

FUnds for athletics and especially facilities upgrades come from a different fund than those funds used for a library. If the football team does a better job of fundraising, so be it.

A school has to have priorities!

Re: 2019 NCAA D1 Football

This is exactly why GVSU made sure they built a new library on campus before any further improvements were done to the athletic facilities.

Anyway, who is excited for Michigan to be a top-5 team all year and then get destroyed by Ohio State at the end of the year again?

I'm just waiting for Alabama and Clemson in the NC game again. It is an odd year so it goes to ALabama
