In a very subtle way, they alluded to Plough "showing up" for these interviews a couple of times in this clip. Wonder if the folks across the causeway are being flaky..
MW teams seem to be getting picked apart in the portal like the BigSky, so I don't think scheduling good FCS opponents early on makes a bunch of sense for them.
I don't see it as "elitism" but more like "be careful who you hitch your wagon to" because if Sac St. blows it all up due to their own incompetence, why would Davis want to be associated with that in any way?
That 5mm buy-in thing is a joke. Who does the money even go to? If you have a FBS conference invite in hand, what's the point? I can only see the buy-in making some sense if you don't have an FBS conference invite. You know who I'm looking at. If I was an anti-trust lawyer I'd be foaming at the mouth
I like the kid from Tufts at corner too. The smaller school xfers usually have a lil extra something to prove, which can bode well. Will be interesting to see how the DBs shake out.
