A new and better FBS thread

It might be awful tough to keep them if the choices come down to NIL opportunities, weather, exposure, tougher competition etc..

We don't have to imagine it, it's been happening for 3-4 years!

I would be down with that. Kind of like how once in a decade other sports might make it out of the first round of an NCAA tournament.

Correct. Again, seems reasonable… but hey, *removes green and gold glasses* —AHEM— that’s just me.

Agree, see no problem with it. Just think one or two fans have the wrong perspective and are unrealistic about what a move would mean.

I’d love to play Colorado St, Utah St, Boise, Wyoming, etc. MWC would be fun.
Would not enjoy seeing SHSU, Kennesaw and JSU all over again with a new label.

Regular season matters more than bowl games and post season for most FBS teams.
That's something our fans would have to adjust to, since we expect to play for the Natty each year.

This is a true statement - especially with those teams with post season aspirations.

In the FCS the regular matters (to the point where we get the 1 or 2 seed). Outside of that we could lose several games and still make the playoffs with a chip and a chair to get a natty.

In FBS, every regular season game is life and death. Lose a game and you're out - especially if you're a G5 since only 1 will make it to the playoffs (most years).

Count me in with others totally okay with a change in post season expectations when we move up.

I think most people would acclimate pretty quickly. I don't think issues would arise with fan interest unless the team was regularly under .500

Doesn't every FBS school also have an opportunity to reach the CFP?

Lots and lots to unpack (sorry) but a review of college sports finances:
