North Dakota State vs #13 Iowa (ESPN2, 12PM)

i wonder why FBS teams still schedule them. its a lose lose situation. If you win you are only beating an FCS team, if you lose you lose to an FCS team. and oh yeah you probably dropped a million plus to do it.

Iowa paid $500k to lose to NDSU and Illinois paid ~$1.3M to lose to Western Michigan.

Didnt Illinois hire Mike Hamilton ? The golf coach just got a 1 million a year contract

No, but Lovie Smith is their new head coach.

Wonder how many players in the NFL are from ND State? Wentz for the Eagles is the obvious one. They had a really solid RB from two years ago that I thought would make the NFL too. Can't remember his name for sure but I believe his last name is Crockett.

I'm going to check into this to see how many player they have that made it to the NFL. Thanks! I'll post back & let you'll know later. Thanks!

Edit: There are 7 players right now:

1. Carson Wentz (Eagles)
2. John Crockett (Packers)
3. Kyle Emanuel (Chargers)
4. Ramon Humber (Bills)
5. Billy Turner (Dolphins
6. Marcus Williams (Jets)
7. Joe Haeg (Colts)
