Re: For the FBS or bust crowd.......
The thing I find most interesting in all of this thread so far as an outsider is the constant banging on “if CCU, App, and GSU we’re still FCS it would be SO DIFFERENT!!!”
So you’re entire judgement on the competitiveness of the subdivision is three programs, one of which had never really created much noise other than a couple close losses to NDSU, GSU who had three deep runs in the playoffs after a six year drought and App? So really it’s two quality programs and a flash in the pan that didn’t have great facilities or backing for an FCS program and just dove into FBS without a real plan. Hell, after their last natty App has one deep run then one win in the playoffs in their last three appearances. It’s not impossible that they could have had as rough of a patch as Montana is having. I’m fairly certain that if Delaware and Montana get their shit together and you add on the rise of teams like JMU, SDSU, adding Idaho, and your yearly random MVFC team it’s pretty easy to say those teams void is being replaced. Also, a team like Kennesaw sure seems like it could be poised to be a power.
Really the main problem isn’t just that two storied programs left. It’s that they left and two of the other historic programs bombed hard. I’m not saying you can’t be pro FBS but to pretend the entire FCS is trash because two teams left is a bit much.
