FCS Final tonight
- Thread starter Stalker
- Start date
They are FCS schools that should be going to division one like Delaware. Deep pockets.
Why would NDSU move up? They're already in a tougher conference (Mizzou Val) than Delaware is going to in the CUSA. Moving "up" is probably a bad idea for a team that went 3-17 the last 20 years vs Nova.
NDSU is a state school playing against private schools without the same resources. For Delaware, stadium is right size, only 20 more scholarship and will get Tv money especially playing during the week. they will draw better then Temple.
College football is about $$
Hopefully the Blue Hens do better than that disaster of a program at Temple.
I wish them the best being one of the first games seen back in the day (as little guys) at Gettysburg College behind what was the Eddie Plank Gym in the MAC. Saw a few games more recently in Newark. Great facilities and a decent court in hoops too. Small but a nice cozy venue.
Seeing them and Bucknell probably had a lot to do with many of us getting into football as much as we were already into baseball with the great lefthander Eddie Plank (326 wins) being from Gettysburg and Nellie Fox from FB rival Chambersburg........and the college kicking ass in hoops with two Little All-Americans in Ron Warner and Wheaties Parker playing the likes of LaSalle, St. Joe's, Temple, Delaware and others.
Weird saying but Gettysburg was a great "sports town" to grow up in in because of the college.
I hear you on sports being about $ where I guess NDSU is doing quite well. But they definitely have the resume to move up should it benefit them.
