IF Colgate wins the PL, is the University (or the Maroon Council) ready to step up so we get a home game in the opening round?

How much does it take to win one of those bids?

Two criteria I know are attendance at home games, and Colgate has to put a bid in to play at home.

In 2003 they only bid for two home games, UMass then Western Ill. We could have played Fla Atl at home also if a bid was put in but wasn't.

I hope we're already hard at work preparing to bid. The initial paperwork is due November 16.

Minimum financial guarantee for first round is $30,000.

In 2003 Colgate decided to play at FAU. Biddle then regretted not doing so because 'gate would have had a big weather advantage over FAU. As it turned out, it didn't matter.
Not putting in a bid to have Wagner come to Colgate a few years ago was a big mistake. After Wagner, I have heard that Colgate has committed to making a bid, if they get the opportunity.
If 'gate wins out, why wouldn't a home game be likely?

Too early to know how the geography, records and teams sneaking in will affect the opportunity to have the home game. However. I assume that nothing prevents putting in the application. Final decisions aren't made until the final reg season fcs games are played!

Bidding doesn't mean we'd get the game. In 2003, we were a seeded team and seeded teams merely need to meet the minimum bid for each round to get the game even if they were out-bid. Unseeded teams are competing against other bidders. In the first round this season the top 8 teams are seeded and get byes. We won't be a seeded team and neither will our potential opponent. Therefore, we could be out-bid for the game. If neither school bids for the game, the NCAA will assign the game based on potential gate receipts, quality of the facility, attendance potential, etc.

"...the NCAA will assign the game based on potential gate receipts, quality of the facility, attendance potential, etc."

In other words, everything else but what the players themselves worked for and deserve. It sucks.

So all the other teams don't deserve a home game? None of the other teams worked hard? Be realistic. If Colgate makes the playoffs they'll be ranked 20-24 in the tournament. Put in a high bid and make UNH, James Madisson or W&M travel to Hamilton.

No one is counting their chickens. Did you see the title to the thread? I am just hoping we don't have a repeat of the last fiasco.
