Georgia Southern needed an opponent in Birmingham Bowl..... after 4-5 hours of panic they took APPY STATE
NDSU AD and COACH should get on the SOCIAL MEDIA and SAY
NDSU WILL PLAY IN ANY BOWL GAME ANYWHERE FOR OUR SENIORS AND FANS!!

I bet Larsen didn’t lift a finger. Another great opportunity lost. Bring back Gene!
James Madison beat appy state in a regular season show-down 58-10. Pounded Weber down too!
Why do they play the Birmingham bowl anyway. Chips or dip? Let’s do this!

Any fool would agree with that!
Dec 8. Southern oriented bowl game desperate for an opponent to well known southern powerhouse Georgia Southern.
There was an opening
Let’s review the logic
Birmingham Bowl - desperate for Georgia Southern opponent - well known southern team in Appalachian State OR little known FCS squad from distant North Dakota driving up travel costs and driving regional appeal down
How much do you think NDSU would have to pay for the game? Travel costs + 10,000 tickets?
Normal brained or genius. Hmmmm

FCS are not eligible. This was bantied about along time ago when there was a shortage of 7 win teams.

This guy talks about the Birmingham Bowl Norte Dames refusal , K State refused, getting hard to find anybody to play in bowls. Sub 500 teams are refusing. Bowl system is dying with the CFP. Nobody wants to play the meaningless games.

He praises “The FCS/D2 or whatever they call it now” successful playoff formate vs the CFP system.
Either you’re in or out of the playoffs, the other bowl games are meaningless and expensive. The CFP themselves filled with controversy as the big programs with big media appeal are favored participants . Alabama over Norte Dame was used as an example.
My conclusion: FBS seems to be for many programs a black hole for money and a recipe for obscurity.
