The bottom of FCS will not go to D2 unless they want to go to D2 in all sports. If they want to do that they would have already done it. Some combination of G5 and FCS is entirely possible though. They would have to figure out the coaching salary imbalance or they could just have a huge range.

So we almost had one imaginary indy season planned out. Not a good thing if even the pie in the sky guys can't come up with a fantasy situation that works well lol

Going independent without a guarantee...what's zero divided by zero...

It’s a divide by zero error - it’s undefined.

well looking at these 5 ndsu presidents. WE ARE FUCKED

Go Independent for a few years then join Mountain West when they lose someone to AAC or Big 12/Pac 12 again.

If we are independent all games are OOC games right?

Finding teams to play is not a challenge. Finding 5-6 home games would be an unenviable task.

Does the NCAA even allow a move up to FBS as an independent? I see it listed on different sites, but haven't found it at ncaa.org. Was the exception granted to Liberty a one-off to avoid a religious discrimination lawsuit?

At worst case, we could play UMass and NMSU twice a year with a home and home. :rolleyes:
