MVC still thinks they're an elite BB conference despite being a 1 bid league.
HBCUs think the Celebration Bowl is a national title.
Pretty much everybody wants a B1G or SEC invite.

I don't think anybody is
But it's a big first step, and one that wasn't clear until recently

watch what you say about the mvc buddy.....

My theme song for a move to the MW where the games people play are in the middle of the night.

Cause I don't want to stay here (FCS) no more, wasting my life away.

There are a few "fbs now, at any costs!" types here that choose to not understand.

I think the vast majority know it is complicated, and it takes the right situation to happen.

I think there is (1) FBS at any cost. I think the rest have differing levels of cost that they would support.

Agreed.

I feel a trend of this thread going back to what it was a few months ago. FCS forever vs FBS at all cost ... blah blah blah

Perhaps. I just don't get why a few want to harp on the non-realistic options now when the door may be opening for a good path.
Its been pretty clear, and reported what the conferences/conditions we need for a move are. I'm good with it.

Now, just have to see how this all plays out.
This was never going to happen fast enough to please everyone. We don't control the timing.

is skunk that darrel dork or the guy that's 67 with the cowboy hat that runs onto their field with the flag.

This statement is Exhibit A that the FCS crowd has been winning the argument and are still winning. Although we've had this thread for 9 years, some still view the "FBS now" crowd is nothing but unrealistic and impatient. I guess we need the nuance that some of you have to understand that even if we wait another 10 or 15 years, it is out of our control and there's nothing we can do about it because geography or something. I wasn't here for it, but I would put $100 down on the idea that there were NCC supporters saying the exact same thing at the time-- it's complicated, it's expensive, it's out of our control, it's not the right time. Apparently, it never is.
