I live East of Dallas and Frisco is like 40 minutes away if there was a Championship you would never know here in the metroplex.  I watched the Sports tonight no mention and the Dallas Morning News newspaper did not mention it.  The NCAA took out an ad on the bottom of the first page.  What a joke and a disgrace how the NCAA markets FCS.  I took a picture but looks like I can’t attach it. Here is the stupidity of the NCAA,  the game is played in a pro soccer stadium. Why? Nobody cares here about this game.  Why not play it at The Pro football HOF.  I know Div 3 is moving the game.  Very sad.

Other then the two schools playing, no one does care. If YSU is not playing I do not care.

Every dime spent to promote the game would be wasted.

You can't fix the ignorance that exists in the general public.  The top teams in the FCS are like watching two top 10 FBS  teams play.

It’s just not good business to host your Championship in a city that doesn’t have an fcs school.

D3 championship will be in canton in 2020 and 2021, should be very successful due to proximity to Mount Union. Maybe after they they will move the FCS championship there.

Tbh I care a lot more about the outcome of this game than Monday nights game, I’d assume FCS school fans
are similar.

Watched most of the game.  Thought JMU was actually the better team, but mistakes got them.  Probably better athletes, but maybe not better football players.  Their QB is gone next year and I think they get the Pitt Transfer who I didn't think was that good at Pitt. We will see how he does at JMU.

NDSU has their QB back so they will be formidable as usual.  Not sure how much they loose as seniors, but that usually doesn't matter for them.  We need some good recruiting these next weeks and maybe a FBS transfer or two to be able to compete with them.
