All for a chance to go to the Potato Bowl!

A whole bunch of schools have moved from FCS to FBS in the past couple decades. They've ranged from wildly successful to middling to Idaho level to even worse. Find me one FBS fanbase that wants to go back to FCS.

Big difference between going back and going up. Pride keeps most from admitting it. Idaho was in a bad place - no conference wanted them, and travel to and from Moscow, plus crappy, small stadium would make scheduling almost impossible.

The upper level is reaching the historical max (actually a little above) - at which point the bigger guys push back and put new rules in place to chaff out the weaker schools. That happening is far more likely than a Northern Tier FBS conference.
