This may well spell the death of FCS football as well (assuming that it was ever alive in the first place).

Naaa there is still Montana, NDSU, Sam Houston has now become a force. I do think IAA will start to become less visable. With the new playoff system going in you will see less and less power 5 programs play IAA schools even if their conference doesn't ban them. They won't be able to take a hit of their SOS.
I give it 5 years and the playoffs and Championship will be an exclusive to ESPN3.

The FCS will be fine. Other schools will step up. Some FCS teams will win games against FBS schools. Conferences will find replacements, and the beat will go on. With apologies to Margaret Mitchell, you may not give a damn, but tomorrow is another day.

I think Ga. Southern, App. State and JMU are "better" than the Sun Belt.

Probably, but you have to cut your teeth somewhere, and when there's only 11 lifeboats and 10 of them are full or out of your range, you jump in where you can. They all have decent football upside, and I can see at least one of them quickly becoming respectable quickly. But it takes time to adjust to FBS; before they got where they are now, Western Kentucky went from being a perennial FCS power to an FBS laughingstock.
Tell you what, the Sun Belt's going to be an absolute toilet fire come basketball season with WKU and Middle Tennessee State out of the picture.
