A new and better FBS thread

This is the time where our school president and AD earn their keep.

Why would Texas State leave for the MW? Money not going to be better. Travel not going to be better. Conference footprint not going to be better.

If Texas St moves, it will be because they get another Texas school to come along. They are almost on an island in SBC.
That plus, MWC could throw some of that exit fee money around.

Like I posted a while back, don't think its highly likely, even though the rumors are flying on it.
Maybe 20% odds?

I could just as easily see SBC adding another Texas school to keep Texas St happy.

Not a Vikings fan but I assume this is what they feel like. Already resigned to the MW adding only NMSU and UTEP. The universe doesn’t want an FBS NDSU

I don't think those two are enough, they would be at 7 schools for all sports and 8 for football....living on the edge of a razor.

They MUST have 8 full sports FBS members to remain a FBS conference, per bylaws.

They need to add 4 or 5 if UNLV leaves

Or become exposed as failures.

All these reshuffles get crazy.
General rule though is the higher level conferences poach first, then it filters down.

It does seem probable if UNLV leaves, so does AFA.

AAC would be better option at that point for AFA again. AAC successfully repelling the PAC raid on Memphis, Tulane, UTSA, USF helps them emerge stronger.
