I'll post this here since it doesn't belong in FB

I think this is huge. Basically, there likely will be a split, but at the FCS/G5 level, not the G5/P5 that so many on here have talked about

If so, game changer for FBS aspirations?

For the tldr crowd...

The group is suggesting that FBS football(and ONLY football) be split off into it's own thing. Big Ten basketball(or volleyball, or baseball) would still be Division I and still compete with all the other DI schools like NDSU. FCS football would stay an NCAA sport, but FBS football would be it's own thing.

It already is isn't it? I mean what would this change??

Yeah without reading the article in failing to see the difference. It's already split at the fcs/G5 level. The only difference I can see as if they were truly split and no longer considered division one and something else than maybe they couldn't play each other?

Exactly

The change would be a formal acknowledgement that FCS FB is third tier, with the gap between FCS and G5 likely widening even further, and with move up options likely disappearing

If FCS were to choose to move permanently to spring (which remarkably some on FCS AGS appear to welcome) I would expect this have a major impact on the dynamic as well

The time to choose is nigh …

I love the "wait until P5 splits off crowd" that has been parrot'ing that since 2012... get real

So now after reading the article I pretty much have the same understanding. The one thing that hit a little harder for me was the recommendation of moving FBS schools football out of the NCAA most assuredly means that FCS and FBS would at some point no longer play against each other and over time the rule governing the teams, games, conferences etc will also probably differ considerably as time goes on. The cynical part of me thinks if this were to happen FCS football would slowly(or perhaps faster than I think) become more of a participation sport at schools in the same sense of why the NAIA schools have sports, to attract students to their school. I guess what I'm saying is that IF the FBS were to break away from the NCAA you'd have a hard time convincing me the FCS wouldn't drastically go downward.
