This will kill the schools with smaller stadiums, there are already bidding wars with teams from the MAC etc, bought games will be over $1 million for non P5 teams & schools with small stadiums will be at a huge disadvantage.TRU, this is something new today. All 14 schools agreed to it.
I would hope not Army ...I would HOPE we can get ARMY to return the visit to us
The Army game was supposed to be a two game series at Yankee Stadium for 2015 and 2016
The 2016 game was cancelled and the 2015 game went to West Point. Hopefully, they will reciprocate and add a 2016 game at RU to make it a true home and home
This is new. However, the loophole is that you can play the FCS games that were previous scheduled before the new rule. So Rutgers has two more to go.
Rutgers already brought a one and done game with New Mexico. Expect more of those types of games moving forward. Also note that UMass will go independent soon, so that can become a cheap series.
The issue is $ not whether there are enough teams available. It's more expensive.One and done with a MAC team. There are more teams with openings then you think
Are the games with Washington,UCLA,Miami, and Temple still expected to be played as home and homes ?
Is Monmouth FCS?
How about Georgia St, Pen St has them on the schedule in an upcoming season
Later, he said that contractual agreements would be taken into account (which I took to mean no new FCS games would be signed but a lot of the already announced ones would be played) and that this was an "AD agreement", meaning the 14 AD's have said they will do this but nothing would be formalized to encourage or penalize compliance.No B1G vs FCS starting in 2016 according to Delaney.

This. We will be playing the 1AA games we already have scheduled. You think the B1G will reimburse us the 4 million or so year are gonna lose? Figure about 700k to buy out each game and a lost home game at about 2 million before we sell parking, food etc. Not to mention, cost of travel to a return home game if we can't buy one and dones.Later, he said that contractual agreements would be taken into account (which I took to mean no new FCS games would be signed but a lot of the already announced ones would be played) and that this was an "AD agreement", meaning the 14 AD's have said they will do this but nothing would be formalized to encourage or penalize compliance.
My understanding is already scheduled FCS games would remain on the schedule, but no further FCS games can be scheduled.No B1G vs FCS starting in 2016 according to Delaney. Currently, we have Howard penciled in on 9/10/16.
The Howards, Norfolks, Morgan Sts, NC Centrals of the world are incredibly boring games.
So you don't mind boring games as long as teams are local?Eastern Michigan is boring too.
I'd rather see Delaware, Fordham or Lehigh come into Piscataway.
I remember reading that the Howards of the world pretty much keep their football programs financially afloat by throwing themselves under the bus by playing these games. Although I rarely worry about the outcome of these games (I know we have been burned in the past, like NH) but I do worry about injuries. Other than having the players work out some kinks for the much harder games, these should be the time to really see some of the second/third stringers in real game situations.
