Yes, They are in the Gulf South Confernce. There is no such thing as football saturation.

FBS schools closest to UWF, USA, Troy and FSU.

Mobile to Pensacola - 53 miles
Troy to Pensacola - 121 miles
Pensacola to Tallahassee - 175 miles

This is also helps Valdosta State (236 miles) get more exposure in the panhandle.

LOL! For me and you maybe not. (I watched about 20 bowl games last year)

But if the idea is that they would move eventually to FBS, I think they should stay Division II.

Let me clarify. UWF would be a nice FCS opponent for Troy, South Alabama and FSU in the future. UWF fans will travel for these close games.
