NDSU has also beat Iowa, K-State, and 3 other P5 schools. It's more of NDSU being a **** good football team, than P5 schools being bad.
NDSU would be a pretty good FBS program but their AD is ***** and wont step up.

You're wrong as usual, but there are articles that you can read to understand why these games happen. $400k is on the low end for a pay game. Some of these schools are walking away with $800k or more than a million. If you can't understand how that can fuel a small athletic department, especially considering this may occur every year, then I don't know what to tell you.They sign for maybe $400K and that is the good ones then when you factor out logistics, travel, lodging, and meals, they are maybe taking home half that amount. If you need $200K to balance your budget maybe you shouldnt be in the athletics business.
Most P5 football programs turn a profit as a result of huge TV contracts but it's not enough to cover the entire athletic department's costs despite what a lot of people think.Most P5 schools arent even making money either
What? Competitive with what? Ivy league doesn't offer athletic scholarships at all. They only have need based scholarships for students. I don't even know what you're suggesting with this post. The vast majority of kids who play sports at Ivy league schools come from money, so their parents are footing the bill anyways.
Point to the numbers on this? Or else you're talking out of your ***. I went to an Ivy League school. I was recruited to play football at an Ivy League school. The majority of the kids on the team are not low income kids. Maybe a quarter of the team. And when you look at sports outside of football, there are even less low income kids on the rosters. You don't know what you're talking about, man.Not true at all not even close to being true.
There is a ton of smart low income kids that play in those leagues who turned down P5 and G5 PWO offers to play in the Ivy League.

Appalachian State walked away with $1.2 million from that game against Penn State. That's huge for that school.

I'd be interested in seeing how they'd fare vs tougher competition week in and week out.
I guess he doesn't see the benefit, they pack their "stadium" and are constant winners. In ND they would have to build a new stadium to step up to meet minimum capacity requirements and it would have to be enclosed. I think it's a smart move actually. They would make more money, but they would also spend more.
What opportunities? I guess those are the only options those kids have? What about the D1 schools that dont have football
Not true, they take home maybe $200K
You work with one kid so that makes it right? Obviously they recruit some inner city schools. That is not the majority of the roster. Not sure what you don't understand about that. The majority of the kids are kids from upper middle class families.At an Ivy League school.
I work with a kid who played at Harvard recently thats from South East San Diego. He had PWO offers from all the Cali schools but choose Harvard. You dont think UPENN recruits the smart inner city kids from Philly?? Come on now
Just wait until one of these 150lb FCS running backs gets a career ending injury from getting hammered by a Bama or Clemson DL/LB all game. Then see how good it was for them.
hes also getting a degree he may not have had without the scholarship. for those kids, they're not playing football to get to the NFL (the kids at UM, Bama, UF, etc are), theyre playing to get their degree and move on with their lives and MAYBE a shot in the league.
I suggest you actually research it and report back with something other than vague opinions unsupported by facts. Facts thats are easily discoverable. Such as the link below.

I work with a few people that attended or played football at FBS schools and the discussion was surrounded by UF playing 2 FCS games this year.
My opinion is FBS teams shouldnt be allowed to play FCS schools.
Your thoughts???
Its already happened with the kid from Savannah State
This is the same UF that dropped us so they could play a more national schedule then played Montana State.I'm not a Gator fan, but the 2019 season is a bad example to use. I don't really blame them considering they have these games,
Miami
FSU
Auburn
LSU
Georgia
What if he played in the IVY, Pioneer, or the Patriot League. None scholarship league. What if he was playing in the SWAC or the MEAC where the players barely even get their books paid for?
Also you do know most FCS players arent even on full athletic scholarships. The whole "Well he wouldnt be in college if it wasnt for football" is by far the dumbest argument and mindset ever. That argument dies when discussing FCS ball.
