"A number of teams on the FCS level have expressed desire about moving up to the FCS level.

For the fans of these schools. how important is possible conference membership to you?

Would you only be happy if you got in one of the upper level non-BCS leagues? In other words, would you only want to make the move if you got into C-USA or the MWC? Would joining the Sun Belt, MAC or WAC be considered a step down and you'd just as soon stay where you are?

Would you be interested if your school and a few like minded others moved up as a group and formed a new FBS league, provding the NCAA approved? Perhaps snagging a couple of FBS teams in your area that might be interested?

I'm sure this has been discussed at length in other threads, but just wondered what everyone's opinion was.

As a Jax State fan, I'd be happy with a move up to the Sun Belt. Travel would be a little better, there would be two in state rivals, including getting Troy back on the schedule. Only one non football member. I don't think the competion would be much tougher once they got up to 85 scholarships and they'd have a shot at going to a bowl game."

That was an interesting post on AGS. I think it was a newbie asking and honest gosh golly question. Some of the responses were hilarious. Completely u realistic both ways. You have the ones set to move up only if they can go CUSA or higher and on the other side the FCS Militia ready to shoot anyone who dares talk about moving up.

What you've quoted is pretty accurate IMO. There is a lot of parity in the SBC. After getting up to speed scholarship wise, they'd be competitive. Just about anyone would. You play up to the level of your competition, no matter how low you start.
