App State get some de facto consideration, because they have stated intentions (and I guess because they beat Michigan some years ago...)

It just seems like if we are talking about longshot FCS schools in a small market that need facilities upgrades, why not at least go with the better geographical fit?

I have to wonder if the only difference is that there are GaSo and App posters making lots of noise on this forum...

I disagree with the first point, agree with the second.

While the Michigan win is the reason that any casual fan has heard of us, I really do not think it factors into our merit as an expansion candidate whatsoever. We are in a small market but our appeal to any conference would be what we've done on the field and in the stands. The past 5 seasons, we've averaged 10 wins and 25,061 in football attendance. That would be our primary selling point.

However, I completely agree that the App/GA Southern fans talking on the boards is likely a big reason that we may appear to be a more serious candidate than we are. I think we will be FBS but it will not be this year. At this point, there may not be much interest on either side. We have to wait and see where all these conferences will shift geographically so we do not put ourselves in a position to be doing more traveling than we can afford. From the conference's standpoint, they want to get their TV markets first. After they have those locked up, then they may consider some small market teams to add stability. I just don't see that happening until at least a year or two down the road and it would not be until then that Jax State, GA Southern or App would really enter the picture.

Good points. Unlike some of my brethren, I do think that a small market team with a decent fan base could be an expansion candidate for the purpose of adding talent and stability.

If Jax State would be dismissed based on Alabama University System politics, I get it.

Does Alabama need 6 FBS teams? I dunno, depends on your definition of the word "need." Do I need a Kate Upton shaped blow up doll? Probably not in the strictest sense...
