Last year with SMU and La Tech, the place was packed. 

There were probably more Louisiana Tech fans than there were SMU fans.

I still standby they should cut one bowl game a year for about seven or eight seasons and see how that goes.  There are 40 of them (so 80 spots to fill) and 130 teams that play in the FBS.  I would think you should be in the top half of the Division to play in one.

 

I wouldn't advocate dropping several at one time because the shock would be much greater, but a slow roll down over a few years would work.   And yes I know this would effect more teams from G5 leagues.  My idea to counteract that would be giving 7-5 teams priority over 6-6 teams regardless of conference affiliation.  That way a 7-5 MAC school would be selected over a 6-6 Miami.  Something like that could keep it from being too biased toward the big boys.

Free market capitalism. People organizing it have demand from schools to play there and demand from sponsors to be affiliated and demand from television to show the game. If it sells tickets, then there is even more money to pay to the schools.

With all the local bowls that would love to have NT, it's a pity just couldn't get it done this year. Even with ESPN controlling most of the minor bowls and matching teams for tv appeal, a local team even at 6-6 would be a coveted target.

I get ticket revenue isn't the biggest factor in these games, but if I flip thru the channels and stumble upon a game with 500 people in the stands, that doesn't get me to stay tuned in.

I don’t think the number of people in the stands has ever had an impact on whether or not I watch a game.

Usually, ESPN works to NOT show empty stands.

You watch football games based on how many people are in the stands? That is odd, usually one watches the football game to see if its worth watching.

      Finishing Out the '25 Class

      Please keep in mind that it looks like shortly they will be changing the roster limits and the amount of players eligible to be put on scholarships. I believe then you will have to keep the minimum of 85 but you will be able to go higher if you choose but with a lower total number of players that can be in the program.

      Thank you for this insightful recap Billy.

      Finishing Out the '25 Class

      1. I have us at about 80 scholarship players. This count does not include Makenzie McGill who we almost assuredly need to put on scholarship to keep, and Evan Jackson who deleted his transfer portal post and hasn’t posted anything since. Also does not include high school commit Terrence Lewis who still seems in line to sign in February. That being said, we probably could sign a few more HS guys this February. We have space and likely will have more space after spring to bring in more portal guys this summer if needed. 2. Probably will have a better idea on this after spring when we have a better idea of where we still are weaker than we want to be. We have pretty good numbers at each position. 3. There definitely will be more transfers after spring but pure speculation on who. Larry Moore appears to be passed over at tackle, and I doubt he wants to spend his last season of eligibility on the bench. Same for VJ Bronson at DT. At safety I don’t expect Isheem Young to come back but I could be wrong. He came here because of Caponi and we seem to have been recruiting that position as if he isn’t coming back. BJ Allen at safety looks like he is in danger of getting passed up by multiple guys so he could be better off looking elsewhere for more playing time. I think Zach Evans is similarly buried on the depth chart. I‘d be surprised if any of those 5 guys were still here after spring. Those are 5 spots I pretty much expect to open up just based on guys who are sort of the odd men out at their spots, but looks like they’ll be here through spring to have a chance to carve out bigger roles.

      SMU 's New Facility

      Many people on this board, constantly talk about competing with SMU. We should also pay attention to what TCU and other programs are doing, so we have a bar to set for ourselves. Ignoring the competition, gets us where we are now.
