Hmmm.... Florida A&M puts in bid to host potential first round FCS playoff game www.wtxl.com/sports/college-sports/famu/florida-a-m-puts-in-bid-to-host-potential-first-round-fcs-playoff-gameTALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — This is a big week for the Florida A&M football team as the Rattlers travel to Orlando to face Bethune-Cookman. A strong finish could cement their place in the FCS playoffs for the second straight year. As big as the week is, head coach Willie Simmons has talked several times this season about how his guys thrive in big time games. They love loud crowds, high pressure situations, and Saturday will be no different. The Rattlers are ranked 24th in the nation in the latest coaches poll, and head coach Willie Simmons confirming today that they have been contacted by the NCAA as a team that has a strong chance of making the playoffs. If the Rattlers are one of the 24 teams chosen, they want to open postseason play at home. FAMU met last week and has worked to submit a bid to host that first round game, which is a big deal for the Rattlers and for the city of Tallahassee.

Season ticket holders should pay just as we would do for any post season game. However, students would be the question mark. University discretionary funds to pay for tickets for say a 1,000 students? The game would be over the Thanksgiving break. That's where the SGA and SUAB should come into play, buying those tickets for students to use for a home game. Buy a limited amount for those interested and those that miss out pay the $15 or whatever the NCAA charges for student tickets.

Bids should have been submitted by the end of last week, IIRC. I'll have to check the FCS Playoff rule book for this. Also, Bids have zero bearing if a team makes it into the post-season.
