Kind of an FCS/CUSA mix. Or maybe just drop back. The future isn't where we are.

Might as well be FCS then and have inferior product.

Inferior how? You don't think JMU, Richmond, and Delaware are better than F_U, UTSA, and UNT?

Objectively, no, at least not over the course of multiple years. Maybe last year's JMU beats FIU and FAU, and possibly North Texas and UTSA depending on whether they play them, but I don't think they sniff bowl eligibility if you took that team and gave them, say, FAU's schedule. We're just a lot more familiar with JMU and Richmond than many of the CUSA teams.
