What a freaking joke. Some idiot says that line on cable tv and the bobbleheads go up and down.

The US is absolutely not "everybody gets a medal".
-We do a crap job taking care of our veterans
-People have fewer workplace protections than pretty much any modern country.
-We have the weakest support system for the poor among industrialized nations.
-We have a healthcare system that works great if you have a really good job and works OK if you are flat broke.
-We have an education system that has no idea what to do with you if you if you aren't college materal.
- We regularly pass "pro-business" laws that are designed to give the biggest sharks in the tank a competitive advantage over the smaller ones.

All built around some pundit getting mad because a 6 year old tee ball player gets a trophy just for showing up, even though it is not really different from what we've done for high school and college athletes for a century. Hey ya'll went 0-10 have a letterman's ring and jacket.

Rule was 7 wins but you could use a 6-6 to honor a pre-existing contract. If you had a 6-6 and not enough contracts to place them, the 6-6 couldn't go to a bowl until every 7-5 and better was placed. Big XII nearly got "bit" by that and the next year lobbied to change the rule and the power group voted it despite the objection of the MAC, WAC, MWC, CUSA and Sun Belt.

A bowl couldn't get certified unless they had contracts with two conferences or teams that had a four year average of having enough teams to cover all their contracts. If you didn't then you needed a back-up deal with a conference that did have enough spots to give.

Now the rule is simply 6-6 and you can sign as many deals as you want.

Everyone wants there to be less bowls but no one wants to change the rule back to 7 wins. As long as there are 6+ win teams that don't go to a bowl game, than there are either not enough bowls or the bar is too low. But if you raise the bar, the 8th place SEC school might not get to go to a bowl game, so that can't happen.

They are leaving teams with 7 wins or more at home. That is why more bowls are being added because the P5 schools are gobbling up the bowl games. Some of these bowls that are bing given to P5 schools were rewarded to G5 schools in the past.

The history of NDSU v the P5 does not support your conclusion. The Bison are 5-2 v the P5 since moving to D1/FCS in 2006.

They are 8-3 over all against FBS schools. They are 3-1 against the Big 12.

North Dakota Beat a 5-7 Ball State in 2006 29-24 and denied Ball State to be bowl eligible.
In 2006, Minnesota beat North Dakota State 10-9. Minnesota went 6-7.
2007: North Dakota State beat a 10-4 Central Michigan.
2007:North Dakota State beat a 1-11 Minnesota.
2008:Wyoming at 4-8 beat North Dakota State.
2009:Iowa State beat ND State. The Cyclones went 7-6 that year.
2010:ND State beat a 3-9 Kansas.
2011:ND State beat a 3-9 Minnesota.
2012:ND State beat a 4-8 Colorado State. Colorado State's head coach is now the new head coach at Florida.
2013:ND State beat an 8-5 Kansas State.
2014:ND State got revenge against the Cyclones and beat them. Cyclones went 2-10.
