I would bet it probably starts out with one bowl game, just like the SBC did 20 years ago with the New Orleans Bowl.

Yep... against either CUSA or SBC.

Like Tarleton State and KSU are on the same level. A school that been in the top 10 of the FCS 6 times within 7 seasons, won FCS playoff games, conference chips etc is on the same level as a team that have not won anything at the FCS level. Plus KSU is in C-USA Tarleton is in the WAC. The WAC will not be FBS, the schools don't have the budget to move up as one and they want get the CFP revenue pot.

Everyone - Let this post be the end of KSU debate in this thread. We will not derail another thread.

+ A billion.... Now what about WFU?

What is WFU? A poster? Wake Forest University? UWF = West Florida, do you mean that? If so that thread was closed.

Master plan looks impressive. Get after it. If the location is that wooded with no sky scrapers I'm in.

The bright side is this train wreck of a conference, along with stuck in the mud MAC, and the train wreck CUSA has become makes us look closer to the ACC than the bottom of the FBS now. We were better than the MW this year and basically even with the AAC. I really think we pass both in the next few years for good.

No program should be able to move up until you can prove you can at least make the semi-finals of the FCS on a consistent basis. Being on the other side of the fence for at least a decade too long I get wanting to move up but this is beyond ridiculous.

If not, that's some hot hot garbage.
