The New WAC

[SkolMitzel]

Looks like there will be a new conference in the FCS.

That sucks. I was hoping they were going to save their spot a G 5 conference

So they'll kick everybody out when they go FBS? Dixie State? Seriously?

I guess the late Sioux Volley was right, in an odd and convoluted sort of way

This just demonstrates how badly CFB needs actual leadership ...

Yeah, the "elevate to FBS football later this decade" part gave me a belly laugh.

Not one of those schools is anywhere near ready for an FBS move. New Mexico St should just swallow their pride and go the route of Idaho... we'll see how long it is before they realize it.

Correct- these schools??? FBS QUALITY???? LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LL

THe Wac may be a future FBS conference, but not with the schmucks in there right now

That's the goal in by the end of decade. This is awesome. In 2030 NDSU could be in an FCS dominated by NDSU, SDSU, Grand Valley State when they move up, Slippery Rock, and possibly another Missouri Valley team. Go Bison!

That's what has always irritated me about these teams that move up... they do it because a consultant they hired to study playing football at the FBS level, saying they can do it because they are in a city with a population that theoretically can support them, and that because they are in that city, they will get big TV viewership... never do they consider that a team must have a successful track record, that would be necessary to develop a fanbase, or even moderate interest in that "tv viewing area"

Does the FBS need more teams like this? UNC Charlotte, Georgia State, South Alabama, Texas State, UMass... I could go on, but those are teams that are "FBS cannon fodder" that only exist so other FBS teams can schedule them to lose as a homecoming opponent... but they play at the highest level, while driving up the cost of education for current students of those schools.

I know that's not how it works - but playing at the FBS level should be earned, not bought -- especially if it is financed through student loans.

There are at least three conferences in the FBS that are not FBS quality.

Does their claim of wanting to go FBS hold any water? If so, what stops me from grouping up Jamestown, Mayville State, UMary and declaring the same thing?

Mo way this could happen without Dickinson State and Dakota State University....
