Past history, when we did participate in Playoffs, the financial hit was a loss. It cost more to participate plus, they usually had the teams traveling somewhere. I believe the last time Alcorn went, was when Steve was playing, and they sent Alcorn to play somewhere far up North, in the snow??? That year, the bowl in Shreveport wanted The Corn and the NCAA denied it. It would have been a sell out and a windfall for the Corn and the bowl.
Yep, but the NCAA denied it due to the fact that Alcorn was (at the time) a D-1AA program.I vaguely remember the Liberty Bowl (Memphis) was trying to get Alcorn to play when Steve McNair was there.

We are in the same boat.I used to support going to the playoffs until I examined the fiscal impact. There is absolutely no money to be made.
If FCS was smart, the take a page out of our book and move the start of the playoffs back two or 3 weeks to allow all conferences with enough school to have conference championship games, allow conferences to form alliances with each other to create bowl games, bring down the cost of hosting a playoff game and allow schools that host playoffs games to keep at least 95% of the gate receipts. This would make it more financially feasible for every school including our to be a part of the playoffs and still make money for their conferences.
I guess the Meac is changing their football schedule from what they put out earlier in the year. They said they would have a 6 game schedule from Feb 27th - Apr 24th with a Championship Game on May 1st. They should have stuck with this model and not get involved with the FCS Playoffs which is slated to start Apr 18th.
