I think it's the wrong question. The real question is... -- HokieAl 06/13/2016 2:27PM
So is contraction ever going to become a reality, or even a possibility? -- chuckd4vt 06/12/2016 2:26PM
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
Present requirement is only 15,000 paid attendence.... -- Old Line Hokie 06/13/2016 12:44PM
Yep. ** -- chuckd4vt 06/13/2016 5:23PM
I was a reporter at that point in time, Kent averaged 3,600 -- BigCrumpy 06/13/2016 2:23PM
And require "on campus" stadiums -- EDGEMAN 06/13/2016 11:39AM
I really think that is mandatory and have for a decade ** -- BigCrumpy 06/13/2016 2:24PM
Off the top of my head UCLA, -- SAMMYNOLE 06/13/2016 1:27PM
Yep, thought about all three of those... -- EDGEMAN 06/13/2016 1:56PM
Based off your thinking WVU has no chance -- BigCrumpy 06/13/2016 2:26PM
You never know.... -- Calamitous 06/13/2016 06:21AM
The only reason these massive conferences make sense is cable TV. -- chuckd4vt 06/13/2016 11:25AM
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
If it's just one OOC game that doesn't count, that is probably one too many -- Maroon Baboon 06/13/2016 10:51PM
NFL has by far the highest regular season ratings. ** -- Stech 06/12/2016 5:31PM
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
I'm telling ya, MOST parents in suburban America aren't allowing LL fball. -- chuckd4vt 06/12/2016 4:58PM
High schools that have soccer and lacrosse have had dwindling participation -- RJHokie 06/12/2016 5:05PM
Which is interesting because concussions are nearly as likely in both -- crabcake77 06/12/2016 5:48PM
Agreed, but perception is often more important than reality. -- chuckd4vt 06/12/2016 11:24PM
I can't imagine what pain those guys are living through, especially... -- EDGEMAN 06/13/2016 1:58PM
Certainly true for soccer... -- Bruin2Hokie 06/12/2016 6:40PM
I believe the publicity of the football issues has been more -- RJHokie 06/12/2016 7:35PM
And a lot of those suburban kids aren't gonna be fball fans in the future. ** -- chuckd4vt 06/12/2016 5:20PM
Probably correct - and these would be the folks -- RJHokie 06/12/2016 5:26PM
