    Default Bison in the FCS and not the FBS

    I am pretty sure that those who talk about the Bison moving to the FBS are just hypothesizing, and that's actually what I'm doing too. I haven't heard any actual news of this occurring. However, I'm curious as to what people here on Bisonville would think of that. Personally, for now, I want the Bison to stay in the FCS. I would think it would be very unlikely that the Bison would jump from FCS to a BCS conferences ( however with all the shuffling of conferences who knows?) and that is what my hypothesis rests on. I believe, as I think Montana figured out, that there is a certain prestige in the top tier of FCS football. Say for the sake of argument we were accepted into the Mid-American conference: what chance do we and frankly any of these teams have at finishing high enough in the BCS to go to a BCS bowl game?? It may be becuase many of the MAC teams are outside of the FM media market, but I really don't know anything about many of these teams! Bowling Green? Ohio? Buffalo? I know of Toledo because they got some ESPN exposure from playing Ohio State and Boise State. I may be barking up the wrong tree, but I'd rather be top of the FCS than lost in the shuffle of a mid-major that has little to no chance at playing for a BCS title/bowl game.

    Thoughts?

    Dammit, I'm trying to pull an all-nighter and get some work done, and here you are starting argument-inducing topics that will end up going 20+ pages...

    Are you TRYING to keep me glued to Bisonville???

    Just for the record jimmy, this is the ultimate wedge issue amongst the Bison fan base. Many lives have been lost fighting over this topic on the battlefield.

    My best suggestion is to wait and see how long this 2011 run will take this FB team, then at the end of that, we can maybe revisit it.

    No probs dude. Most fans in a fan base don't really know to what extent the online fans of that team usually talk about.

    You're new here, you'll get the hang of BV.
