Not to be disrespectful, but they've been saying this 2005 when they both joined the Sun Belt.

FWIW I agree with both of these. We havent hit our ceiling, and yes we should be better then where we are. Both programs have not lived up to our potential

I thought in 2007 we were on a rocket ship to being another Boise State. Always flirting with the top 25, beating bigger schools. Hell in SIX years we had gone from COMPLETE football start up to full FBS member, Conference championship and a bowl win. If you had told me then that for the next 10 years Florida Atlantic Football would be a perennial bottom feeder in a conference, going thru 4 coaches in that time, and not going back to a bowl game, I would of advised going to rehab clinic because you were SURELY on some serious drugs.

FAU has invested heavily in facilities and now with coaching. The president is ALL ON BOARD with athletics as the way to garner growth for the school. If we cant get it turned around in the next 3 years, then I think we need to cut our loses and go FCS.
