Little strange to me they can skip levels and immediately start full FCS, when lower division teams like Tarleton and St Thomas have transition years.

Beginning with the program's first year of competition, UTRGV will be recognized as a full member of Division I FCS, eligible for NCAA postseason, and play a full Western Athletic Conference schedule.

One is an entry point, and one is a transfer. A new program has to start somewhere, and I assume this school was already D1.

I think they are D1. FCS is the lowest level a D1 school can sponsor a team at, correct?

Correct. But if a major D1 school decides to add football as a sport (i.e. Xavier, Seton Hall), I don't know if they are required to start in FCS or if they could go directly to FBS if they get an invite.

Getting the old Big East together for football would be awesome. Their basketball tourney was more fun than the Big Dance. Prison ball.

In today’s ESPN update on the coaching search for Colorado, some familiar names made the list of who to watch……as they are said to be looking for someone with Head Coach experience……including:

Texas co-defensive coordinator Jeff Choate, the former Montana State coach.
North Dakota State's Matt Entz
Sacramento State's Troy Taylor
Jackson State coach Deion Sanders

Another name out there for the Colorado job is Illinois defensive coordinator Ryan Walters, who played at the University of Colorado.

Interesting, I know which of those names would get the CU fan base most fired up....

NDSU might not have to schedule Jackson St to see Coach Prime in a couple years. :)

Iowa loses to Nebraska in a game that wasn't even close until the end. Big Red goes up 24-0 before hanging on 24-17. Iowa didn't deserve to win the west anyway, but this opens it up for Minnesota maybe??
