A Sea Of Red

Excellent read!

Some FCS athletic departments see more monetary opportunities in the FBS, with the lucrative television contracts offered to conferences and revenue sharing possibilities offered in the BCS. Bear in mind, all 11 (soon to be 10) FBS conferences earn a share of a communal revenue stream via the current system.

However, the future structure of the BCS is very much in flux. Its contract with the NCAA expires in 2014, and its future involvement is uncertain. The introduction of a playoff poses questions for just how the lower tier conferences will factor in. A program like Liberty is almost certain to draw the most interest from the Sun Belt or Conference USA .....

He said that expansion to 35,000 would be packaged with a move to FBS. Has anyone else heard anything like this before?

It would have to be. It seems to make sense. But the 35,000 that is proposed, would probably be built for FBS play (or possibly before that move). I don't know for sure but it makes sense.

The number has always been 30k but is now 35k. I wonder if we have updated the plan.
