FCS Quarterfinals and later rounds changes

[IBleedYellow]

Apparently there are some changes coming down the pipe.

Starting this weekend home teams can't play any intro videos and I guess other fan experience type events are being removed.

I haven't seen a full stadium in the playoffs yet and the NCAA wants to take away from the fan experience. How stupid can you be?

[ElCid]

I am just glad they allowed the Corps to march in. I did notice that they did not display the game stats on the stats board during the game. Wondering if that was the NCAA's doing.


As long as they don't forbid our cannons in the future. We might have to turn then on the NCAA if that happens.

The NCAA is a pathetic joke. How about you give us atleast peewee level officiating instead of worrying about ****ing intro videos?

A sad as it is to say, the NCAA and NFL are making football nearly unwatchable. What are we going to be left with in 20 years?

[Professor Chaos]

Someone obviously bitched about it. Can only speculate as to who...

NDSU didn't have the stats board at our first home playoff game way back when. We didn't have enough data cables strung through the building to run those and the extra cameras. Same thing?

[RootinFerDukes]

At the JMU game this weekend, my wife went to browse in our in-stadium JMU merchandise store.
It was completely vacant except for a table set up with NCAA Fcs playoffs items and apparel. The employee just said the NCAA mandates that we can't sell home team merchandise during playoff games and only NCAA merchandise.
She came back and told me about it and even the group next to us overhearing laughed at the rule.

Seriously? You think people give a **** about a t-shirt that just says Fcs playoffs 2016? Spend that wasted money on travel costs and it would be less wasteful.

[Nickels]

Can we all agree to boo the **** out of anything NCAA related during the Natty? I mean undeniable hatred boos. Like Kapernick burning the flag mid-field boos. I want to see the worthless suited losers scared and flustering while spewing their bull****.

[taper]

Before we get out the pitchforks is there a source for this? Nothing pops up on a quick google.

[Green1]

What sort of unfair advantage does the NCAA think is being gained?

[Nickels]

I dont even care if it is true. They've done enough with their pointless playoff rules to piss just about all of us off already.

They're worthless maggots. They leach off kids for their own self gain. They do NOTHING to enhance college sports. NOTHING.

They cant show just NDSU stuff on the video boards. Thats why tou will see a generic video of many different schools and sports.

Might as well cover any team logos on Campus. Change the university entrance signs while they're at it. Don't want visitors to feel like they're...visiting.

Plus the NCAA supplies the programs for the game and they are ****ty and they never have enough. Oh and the wont let you sell your extra tickets in the lobby. You have to be outside.

The NCAA just sucks dead dog dick. Its just that simple.

[jmu007]

I was wondering why our team intro didn't play before they ran out onto the field. Figured someone had just messed up, but sounds line the NCAA police F'ed it up.

If this is the case then they just need to start playing the games in neutral sites.

I heard a funny announcement at the SHSU game on Saturday. The PA announcer said " fans, the NCAA requires a 10 minute cool off period after the game is complete. Please do not go onto the field until this time has passed and the players have left the field "

I was like WTF? I have never heard that ....

[FUBeAR]

On the other hand, look what the NCAA has done. We are all agreeing on something - what prigs they are.

No fighting / trolling / name-calling in this thread at all.

If we could just send the NCAA Executives to the Middle East, they'd have that situation resolved in just a few weeks!

[footballer23]

I would like to point out that they play the intro videos for both teams at the National Championship game... but they can't be played in our home stadium? Makes sense...

[The Yo Show]

That's because it is now a neutral site game, therefore no advantage for intro videos xdrunkyx

I got nothing. What a dumb ass rule. But sadly not surprising.

If I'm running the NCAA, I'm trying everything in my power to make a marketable cost-containment playoff game with all the trimmings, like the bands, streamers, video boards, you name it. The publicity off of something like that at the FCS level isn't insignificant - it fits in with their coverage of swim meets, soccer finals, and the like - student-athletes graduating, getting a great playoff, college football experience. Instead, the NCAA seems hell-bent on sanitizing it so that it has all the charm of a padded room. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if the NCAA next mandated that the games be played in empty stadiums.

*note, I'm not taking the NCAA's side on this but the rule has long standing been that video board control and all of that goes to the NCAA and that all "home field" stuff is to cease in the playoffs.

The NCAA has long had a rule against fans on the field after playoff games. I remember the UNI student section being warned of this as far back as 2007.

[Bisonator]

They have some nerve charging anything for programs. Everyone has smart phones these days, what information are you going to get from a program that you can't find in three clicks besides ads for the nearest Mexican restaurant?

[jmu007]

Appears this past weekend JMU skirted this, sorta, by playing their 10 second countdown before the team ran out. Normally there would be a video after the clock hit 0, but I guess the NCAA police were there to make sure we forfeited if we played that video.

Ugh... weak sauce NCAA.

[gsf23nd]

According to one of the Bison beat writers (Kolpack) NDSU was told they couldn't use their intro video last week, but they convinced the site rep that they didn't have enough time to change it so they let them run it.

This week is a no go on the video.

I have a suggestion for NDSU. Instead of the intro video, use some Nine Inch Nails with this on the video board:

I noticed last season that 50/50 tickets were being sold in the concourses for regular season games and only in the lobby (before the ticket gates) and this year we've always seen them in the lobby.

The NCAA also hides the Shooting Star Casino ad in the SE corner.

As far as I know, this has been NCAA policy for the last 10-15 years.
The 10-minute "cool down" policy has been present ever since the sledgehammer incident in 2002. http://www.bgdailynews.com/teams-brawl-following-game/article_de031fb9-4fa8-57ef-82f2-38e7771faf42.html


In theory, the host school is hosting the game on behalf of the NCAA. Sirens and cannons are not supposed to go off after home teams scores, etc. The NCAA has just been very slack and inconsistent with enforcement of the rules.


Like most NCAA rules, they are enforced selectively only against certain entities.

My understanding as well. For a number of years we have had lots of things we normally do during home games that we couldn't do when hosting playoff games. But then I watch a playoff game held at other schools and some of them do things we were told we couldn't. I suspect they haven't changed any rules but might be trying to enforce them this year? Or maybe they're just trying to enforce them in Fargo this year.
