Because of this great disparity, I'm strongly against playing any P4 school. That game was not fun to watch at all. Because we're apparently poor, we need the money to play these games.

Games decided by more than 50 points. Note a couple of FCS vs FCS matchups
Just imagine how many interesting games will never be played because these took their spot on the schedule.

Ohio State vs. Grambling State
70-0
Florida State vs. East Texas A&M
77-3
Oregon vs. Oklahoma State
69-3
Tennessee vs. ETSU
72-17
Alabama vs. UL Monroe
63-0
Minnesota vs. Northwestern State
66-0
Utah vs. Cal Poly
63-9
Washington vs. UC Davis
70-10
East Carolina vs. Campbell
56-3
UCF vs. North Carolina A&T
68-7
North Dakota State vs. Tennessee State
59-3
Tarleton State vs. Mississippi Valley State
59-3

Minnesota vs. Rhode Island
66-0 — Riveraggie

Minnesota beat Northwestern State this season 66-0. Last season they beat Rhode Island 48-0. Looks like Minnesota needs these game too!

Now you are going to make me check all these as i got that from an AI query.

Ai hallucinations!

Weird that the scores were right but some of the defeated team was wrong. Corrected now.

I had to think while watching the game that maybe it was maybe not the right time to unveil the “Shredville” and “blue force” helmet labels for the UDub game.

I fear that the money gap between the p-4 schools and non p-4 schools will widen every year. People and organizations with money tend to gather money at a faster rate than those groups and or people with lesser money. If this happens I see that the P-4 schools are soon going to keep everything internal with only having p-4 schools play p-4 schools. I fear that they will morph into 4 conferences of 16 with 2 sub conferences of 8. Their out of conference games will be with another p-4 conference and they will have conference show downs. Last year's top team will play the other team's top team and the 2nd place will play etc. This would bring in more revenue for them and build a bigger moat for the rest of the teams.

It isn’t so much that money begets money, it is that teams that have a hundred years of success, have built advantages. They have fan bases, 100,000 seat stadiums, that they can fill, the multigenerational traditions in communities, and mind share. The NCAA for generations created rules which maintained a higher level of competitiveness by keeping the wealthy from using their money advantage to directly purchase talent. Now the courts, totally disregarding the public interest in having parity as the public were not parties before the court, have eliminated those rules, creating a situation where only the rich can compete. It is for the best that P4 teams don’t play lower tier D1 teams in games which the lesser teams have little chance of making look like a contest, much less win.

Riveraggie The Bluebloods of football and men's basketball have generational tribes that have put money into the schools. This money in the way of facilities and traditional excellence generate more money. They have also taken some of the money and used the resources that come with so much money to develop ways to decrease competitiveness and increase their dominance. I fear that this is accelerating.

Kentucky has started a non-profit to increase payment to its athletes and I believe that this will be the standard for P-4 schools.

Non-P-4 schools are going to become less relevant and sports other than true money generating sports (football and men's basketball will also become less relevant.

Couldn’t have gotten on UCLA’s schedule this year? Dang.

Exactly my thought. They looked horrible.

Washington looking great against #1 team in the nation. Just as physical. Loss not looking as bad, Washington is a binge playoff contender

Go Dawgs.

Good OSU crowd in Seattle.
