Re: Future Schedules
Does anyone know how single game tickets for the bison game will work this year? Two years ago they didnt go on sale to the public until really close to the game. Is that going to be the same this year?

Originally posted by Nidaros View PostI would think that budgets play a big part in what is offered. ISU pockets may not be that deep, and Dixie is kind of in a position where it takes whatever it can get.
A - never thought Dixie State would be in Utah
B - Traveling in late November could be the reason they asked for/got more money
C - Looks like a pretty empty schedule still
I would agree with you that SDSU probably over-offered based on ISU's offer. Bloomington does have it's own airport, might have helped traveling expenses there.

Originally posted by Nidaros View PostIt does not make sense based on miles traveled. St George Utah is about 1360 miles from Brookings and St George is about 1600 miles from Normal I’ll. About 300 more miles to ISU. I think in setting up a schedule, Dixie had a pick of several offers, and SDSU was more generous. The people scheduling at SDSU possibly did know about ISU low ball offer.

I'm sure there are some factors in the difference but that seems like a big difference to me.

Their first season of FCS play will be 2020. They will be an FCS Independent. Interesting date for the game too.

Re: Future Schedules
Honestly, if our future non conference schedule consisted of 1 power 5 FBS, Augie, and a home/home with MSU/UM/SHSU type each year, I'd be fine with that. From a ticket sales perspective, Augie at home will out draw a UAPB, and honestly might out draw some of the others mentioned too. In years where we have a home game against a good FCS squad, we could play Augie on the road. When alot of our fans are coming from SF, we'd funtionally have 7 home games each year. Throw in the fact that in any given year, we will have a road game at both UNI and Fargo, or at both UND and USD. Suddenly, 8-9 of our 11 games are at home or within a 4 hour drive. That sounds pretty good to me.

Re: Future Schedules
FCS counter game > 2 FBS games >>>>>>> non-D1
Playoffs! That is what it's about.

Re: Future Schedules
As long as the Jacks are playing FCS teams at home, I'm fine with the schedule. Until fans start forking over much bigger donations, we can't ask for more than that. Also, to start next season, the Jacks will play an improved FBS Gophers' team. So SDSU's two new coordinators and new quarterback will be strongly tested from the get-go.

Originally posted by SteelSD View PostWow, we've become like USD fans and wanting to schedule easy. I mean seriously, if we can't beat a bottom of the barrel Southland/OVC/Big South/etc team then the MVFC will chew us up and spit us out anyway. Now maybe we contacted all those teams about a one-of and they said no, then I guess fine. But no one here is going to convince me that a crappy bottom two of the MEAC game is anything but a joke. The only benefit is that it's a counter. Everything else about it sucks.
Edit: You also assumed that they went straight to DSU and didn't try other options. I doubt that an east coast team was their first choice. Some one with less travel cost was probably their preference.
