Fuller quote: "There is an expectation from within this industry that come January/March when these new division 1 rules are finalized that it's going to become much more difficult to reclassify from FCS to FBS ... potentially closing that door completely for a period of time..."
So 'Now or never' does not appear to be hyperbole. Too bad DB doesn't really care
The argument to stay where we were and wait and see what happens was foolish thinking. I was pro-FCS at the time where that statement got rolled out every other week, but I still didn't like it then and I hate it now. We put ourselves in a house with too low of a ceiling because we were afraid of a little rain. We should've been doing everything we could to advance our athletics department and university as a whole* to be ready when opportunities present themselves.Quote:

Yep, remember the five year moratorium the NCAA had about moving up to FCS back about the time un_ moved up.Quote:

ML should be on the phone with his boss: DB. Mon Nov 15 will be a big day in NCAA history. The shortened, new NCAA constitution must be rolled by that day by self-imposed deadline. DB is on that significant committee. He must know what's coming. With that tunnel into information, ML should be working ahead of the curve.
And ML should be on the phone with Sell at SDSU, Chaves at UND, Herbster at USD, Haslam at Montana, Costello at Montana State, Esten at St. Thomas, and a handful of others in the region, collaborating about what they can do when changes comes, and it's coming.
If ML is waiting by the phone for "the call", it won't come (especially now that C-USA can stay in its southern comfort zone with WKU and MTSU).
Make the change.
