RE: ABC will broadcast the FCS National Championship game and college basketball games
probably been 3-4 years for college hoops on ABC. Will be interesting to see the quality of games moved to ABC- definitely won't be your Duke/UNC type games.

RE: ABC will broadcast the FCS National Championship game and college basketball games
The FCS fans have been screaming at each other for years to determine which is more valuable to the schools playing in either the Celebration Bowl or the FCS Natty. Now that the Natty has been pushed from a Friday night in December to Saturday in January and will be on ABC, just like the Celebration Bowl, we might get to see which one really gets more attention from the outside.

That's a stupid argument to have. The conferences playing in the Celebration Bowl have little to no chance at the FCS National Title Game to begin with. That's the biggest reason they chose to self-segregate.

The argument is that the Celebration Bowl gets way better ratings than the FCS Natty. Has a much much larger crowd in attendance. Gets paid ($1 million bowl payout) and gets featured on ABC on the first Saturday of bowl games at Noon, making it the very first bowl.
I can see their argument that it has been "bigger" than the FCS Natty

Except for the fact that two weeks later nobody will remember who won the Celebration Bowl.

Same can be said for the FCS Natty and pretty much every bowl.

A Natty is something that can always be referenced with meaning. App still references their championships. A bowl win is much less remembered because you have to try to figure out how meaningful playing in Dollar General Mobile Weed-eater Hooters Bowl vs another 6-6 team is.

The Celebration Bowl is used to crown the HBCU National Champion. Just for perspective.

Not really. NDSU gets plenty of attention for their title runs, and App State did as well.

Maybe it's because I live 3 hours from Atlanta and in the state that has had a participant in all the Celebration Bowls, but in North Carolina NCA&T and NCCU got big big pops for their Celebration Bowl participation.

And in Phoenix, it wasn't mentioned, but the FCS championship was.
Of course having tons of Dakotans in Phoenix probably helped that.

Not really. NDSU gets plenty of attention for their title runs, and App State did as well.
App state gets more props for beating Michigan than their nattys and NDSU gets it for their ridiculous run. If they had just one a one off natty here and there not many would know about them. No one seems to reference JMUs title that broke the NDSU streak or could probably even tell you who broke the streak, people just reference NDSU.
