Here's a crazy idea.
Why dont you guys in Indiana get off your arses and computers in your mom's basement and support the FB team (and other sports) at games. To those of you who do show, out of state alumni appreciate your efforts.
From what I see on tv, that's not many of you.
And quit talking about dropping to a lower division or dropping FB. We are on this board to support our student athletes as fans of our university. The majority of us don't give a damn about your accounting background. Keep your BS financial reality (or lack thereof) with numbers to yourself.
Fans / alumni enjoy sports to get away from reality. Quit pissing on our entertainment.

Chuppah
I will be there again this weekend supporting the team
and the weather should be nice. Wish 1/2 the tailgate lot would attend the game. Stadium wouldn’t be big enough to hold the crowd

I have 4 season tickets.
I get living in this moment so you have a point.
But. If you don't think money has anything to do with enjoying FB long term, just dream on.
Not for long though. Follow the money to know what our future is..

If we care about financials we should just drop the entire football program. So, one bowl game is where you draw the line? As long as they are playing games I will support them and root for what is best for the players. The financials never cross my mind. It doesn't concern me personally. Never advocated dropping the football program. If we were talking about dropping sports that don't make money, we'd get rid of the whole athletic program, not just football. I do advocate having a higher standard than a 6-6 record with all those wins being over terrible teams. But that apparently meets your standard. So be it. Good to hear that, since the financials don't concern you, you also would have supported spending that extra cash for all those West Division champ Whitford basketball teams to go to the CIT or CBIT, or whatever postseason tournaments. Apparently, you're more generous with other people's money and more supportive of ALL BSU athletes than is the administration. |

Outside of them, there is absolutely 0 places to go. Also, you have mentioned that football in conferences like the MAC isn’t sustainable. What is your timetable? 1 year? 5? 20? You’ve mentioned even before there was talk of the P5 conferences separating from the football playoffs. I just haven’t hear of its imminent demise yet. |

If I could add a double like to this post it would be warranted. I agree with everything you say chupacabra. I do not think anyone is really understanding the finances of college football enough to comment on how it would make sense for us to go to FCS or drop the football program. Finances aside, why would we want to go to a lower division? I am puzzled by that notion. Also in that vein, why be on this website for Ball State football if you want the football program dropped? Seems like an odd usage of one's limited existence on Earth. I am encouraged by this small group of individuals who actually care about Ball State athletics and offer genuine insight/optimism. I am not saying can not be a realist - I just enjoy reading feedback from individuals who clearly have a passion for the subject matter. |

No, I don't care about those basketball tournaments. Your post is full of assumptions. I'm just a fan that likes to watch the football team. It's not that deep. |
