Any level of scholarship football is pretty expensive.

If we dropped to FCS we'd at least have a shot at playing, and beating, Butler in football, even if we can't do it in basketball anymore.

Nope. They've upgraded. Pioneer League along with Campbell, Dayton, Jacksonville, Davidson, Drake, Marist, San Diego and Valparaiso.

They're falling into a trap. Pretty soon they will want to step up again and the resource drain will suck them back to our level.
It's called the Sherman Theory of Chasing Unobtainable Intercollegiate Success.

Yay. The football program is a drain talk that we have at least once a year. We'd have to drop out of the MAC to go to FCS. Where would Ball State go? Are other conferences begging for us to join?

Oh don't worry. It's just message board talk. The BSU football subsidy paid by taxpayers and students is around $175 per person attending a home game. Your personal pastime will probably continue to be paid for in the foreseeable future. You're pretty securely embedded into your host organism.

I'm not worried in the least. It's not my pastime. My life would go on regardless. However, it's here and it's not going away soon so I might as well enjoy it.

The MAC will within ten years not have any chance to get in the NCAA playoffs for the FBS. The difference in money is to great between the Big 5 conferences and the MAC. Lembo and Enos leaving for better paying jobs as assistant coaching jobs there shows how the MAC stands. Enjoy the game against Notre Dame because I do not see us playing them again in football. The scores of the bowls yesterday lead me to think the entire league may be willing to consider downsizing following NIU 55-7 and BG losses of 58-27. We will not see another MAC team in the Orange Bowl. I think the entire league will be forced to accept the fact they can not afford to play with the NCAA stars.

How much is it for the Colts? Pacers? Hosting a Final Four or the Super Bowl?

Why don't you tell us?
But it's a sorry argument in any case. A leech sucks more blood than a tick, so you should want a tick on your skin.

There is a credible scenario where basketball makes money. Football just can't say that.
