Does anyone know the requirements to be and FBS school, I always thought you had to have a 5 year rolling average attendance above 15,000 and a stadiums with a minimum of 30,000 seats.

Invite from an FBS conference, rolling 15,000 average is more for bowl games.

However liberty petitioned to move up without an invite and it was granted.

30,000 seat stadium has not been a requirement for a while now.

Unless you have lots of $$$$$$$$ then all you have to do is line some pockets

That's my understanding. But maybe someone else with some more knowledge will chime in.

At this point it seems to be have an invite to a conference or have enough money to go it indy. Not sure they could have the legal muster to back up the invite looking at NMSU, Liberty, BYU, Army, and UMass.

From the FAQ section of the link I previously sent...

Q. For purposes of computing actual attendance figures, what criteria must be satisfied to
count an individual as an attendee?
Frequently Asked Questions
Page No. 4
_________
A. An individual may be counted in the actual attendance figures if any one of the following
conditions apply:
1. Attendees are issued tickets that are collected on admission to the game and retained;
2. Attendees enter through and are counted by a turnstile that is monitored by a
representative of the department of athletics who verifies in writing the accuracy of
the count on a per contest basis; or
3. Attendees enter through a gate at which a representative of the department of athletics
counts them individually with a manual counter (or electronic scanner), and the
representative provides a written statement verifying the accuracy of the count on a
per contest basis. [Bylaw 20.9.7.3.1.1]

Q. For purposes of computing paid attendance figures, what criteria must be satisfied to count
an individual as an attendee?
A. Tickets must be sold for at least one-third of the highest regular established ticket price as
established prior to the season, regardless of whether they are used for admission in order
to be used in calculating paid attendance figures. Tickets sold at less than one-third of the
highest regular established price may be counted as paid attendance only if they are used
for admission. Student attendance may be counted as paid attendance if the student pays at
least one-third of the highest regular established ticket price or, if the student actually
attends the game and any one of the following conditions applies:
1. The student paid an athletics fee;
2. The student paid an institutional fee of which a certain portion was allocated to the
department of athletics; or
3. The student paid no athletics fee, but the institution allocated to the department of
athletics a certain portion of tuition income or general operating funds as the
equivalent of a student athletics fee. [Bylaw 20.9.7.3.1.2]

Q. Is it permissible for an institution to satisfy the paid attendance requirement by allocating
an amount of student fees equal to or greater than one-third of the institution’s highest
established ticket price, regardless of whether the student tickets are used for admission?
A. No. Such tickets may be used to meet the paid attendance requirement only if the student
actually attends the contest. [NCAA Division I Management Council Membership
Subcommittee 10/16/06]
Frequently Asked Questions
Page No. 5
_________
Q. How is student attendance verified?
A. Student attendance must be verified through one of the following methods:
1. Such students are issued tickets that are collected at the time of admission to the game
and retained;
2. Such students enter through and are counted by a turnstile (which is not used by
others in attendance) that is monitored by a representative of the department of
athletics who verifies in writing the accuracy of the count on a per game basis; or
3. Such students enter through a gate (that is not used by others in attendance) at which
a representative of the department of athletics counts them individually with a manual
counter, and the representative provides a written statement verifying the accuracy of
the count on a per-game basis. [Bylaw 20.9.7.3.1.2.1]

Q. Is it permissible to include attendees (e.g., players, cheerleaders) who are participants in the
contest in satisfying the 15,000 attendance requirement?
A. No. Attendees (e.g., players, cheerleaders) or students performing services at the stadium
(e.g., concessionaires, ticket takers, parking lot attendants, ushers, groundskeepers) who are
participating in the contest in any manner shall not be included in determining if the
institution has satisfied the 15,000 attendance requirement. [Bylaw 20.9.7.3.1.2.1.1]

Q. Is it permissible to include band members when calculating attendance?
A. Yes. Band members performing at the event may be included in the count for actual or
paid attendance figures provided attendance is verified in the same manner as any other
student. [NCAA Division I Management Council Membership Subcommittee 10/16/05]

Q. May an institution use both the actual and paid methods when calculating attendance in the
same academic year?
A. No. An institution must use the same calculating method (i.e., actual or paid) for the entire
academic year; however, an institution is permitted to use the actual attendance calculating
method during one academic year and the paid attendance calculating method in a
subsequent academic year (or vice versa) in order to meet the FBS attendance requirement.

Q. How does an institution verify compliance with the football attendance requirements?
A. An institution must undertake an annual certified audit verifying its football attendance. It
is not necessary for the audit to be conducted by an auditing firm outside of the institution.
Frequently Asked Questions
Page No. 6
_________
The audited football attendance figures must be received in the NCAA national office not
later than February 15 following completion of the football season and the national office
shall verify compliance with all FBS attendance requirements. The certified audited
materials (including the ticket manifest) must be available for inspection for a four-year
period. [Bylaw 20.9.7.3.2]
Q. Is the certified audit requirement necessary for certifying both actual or paid attendance?
A. Yes. A certified audit is required to verify football attendance for the purpose of meeting
Football Bowl Subdivision football membership requirements regardless of whether the
paid or actual attendance method of computing attendance figures is used. [Bylaw
20.9.7.32]

As for ULM they certainly didn’t meet the 15,000 mark last two seasons however there are multiple ways programs can circumvent the rules to avoid sanctions, as this article shares that Kent state bought tickets from themselves in order to meet the attendance mark back in 2013

Which to any reasonable person is 15k. Nobody is arguing over 41 seats. And if they were, we would just purchase another 41 of our own tickets and call it a day.

The point is, making comments about putting us in the same boat as Charlotte is just pretty stupid.

All we have to do is average 15,041 per game next year and our 2 year rolling average will be 15k and meet the requirement.

So the suggestion that Coastal = Charlotte is beyond dumb.

If it were actual butts in seats vs tickets sold some teams would be in deep doo doo....

The Attendance thing isn't enforced. Schools just find sneaky ways around it, and even though its not in the spirt of the rule itself, the NCAA doesn't care. I'm not sure I can even remember a situation of a school even being warned by the NCAA for the attendance rule.

NCAA really only cares about the 16 varsity sports and the 5 home game (4 against FBS teams) rule. Since most conferences guarantee at least 4 home games as part of their schedule, the rule was essentially created to force teams to gather an existing FBS Invite to move in. But since the NCAA doesn't actually enforce half its rules, it became vulnerable to a Liberty lawsuit and they got a "special" please don't sue us waiver to get in.

*cough cough* Coastal and ULM

We averaged over 15k per game last year.

Cough cough know your facts cough cough

I knew my facts, and so does everyone else.

You and I have a different definition of zero.

If attendance numbers were enforced, half the MAC would not exist.
