What's this?

Present requirement is only 15,000 paid attendence....


minimum over a rolling 2 year period for FBS members. That means a school has to at least draw 15,000 paid fans every other year,

"Average at least 15,000 in actual or paid attendance for all home football contests over a rolling two-year period." [Bylaw 20.9.9.3]

In 2002, the NCAA dropped the 30,000 seat capacity for FBS (D-1) football stadiums.

Maybe the Power 5 will require that all member schools have a minimum 40,000 seat capacity stadium one day with a minimum paid attendance of 30,000 over a rolling 2 year period? That would put some pressure on a few P-5 members but I would personally welcome that change. The ACC would be hit hardest by the change but I feel it would greatly benefit ACC football down the road.

  I think it's the wrong question. The real question is... -- HokieAl 06/13/2016 2:27PM
  Contraction will happen if the P5 requirements are raised... -- EDGEMAN 06/13/2016 08:22AM
  I can Easily see 60K and 10 K -- BigCrumpy 06/13/2016 2:19PM
  I think actual attendance numbers are more important than stadium size. -- chuckd4vt 06/13/2016 11:29AM
  It is easier to discrimate on stadium than attendance -- BigCrumpy 06/13/2016 2:21PM
  Those are pretty low, maybe make it 50 & 7? ** -- EDGEMAN 06/13/2016 11:38AM

  Contraction will be P4 with 4 divisions in each. G5 and FCS will create -- Stech 06/12/2016 4:29PM
  Yeah, P-4 will be just like the NFL in that scenario. ** -- RJHokie 06/12/2016 4:30PM
  Not exactly. ALL NFL games count in the standings, not just -- Femoyer Hokie 06/12/2016 9:47PM

  Only not as boring. ** -- crabcake77 06/12/2016 4:48PM
  More P4 crossover regular season games should be fun to watch. ** -- Stech 06/12/2016 5:30PM
  Definitely so. ** -- RJHokie 06/12/2016 5:38PM
  Contraction to a P4, yes -- nebraskafaninwi 06/12/2016 3:46PM
  Highly unlikely ** -- ren_hoek 06/12/2016 2:51PM
  At the P5 level, could happen sooner than later if OU makes a move ** -- daveinop 06/12/2016 2:50PM
  TV has driven expansion. It may very well drive contraction. -- RJHokie 06/12/2016 2:39PM
