Long Beach State's head coach at the time before football was dropped, got money lineup from donors to build a brand new football stadium to keep them in FBS. Then after he gave the news to the AD and President at the time? The anti-football AD and the school president dropped football before the school could build the stadium. It crushed the spirits of the students, the community and the donors who wanted to keep football. The idea for Long Beach State to restart football was to join the MWC. MWC would be interested if schools in their area restarts football, upgrade their stadiums and move to D1. I think East Bay State wanted to restart football to go FCS in the future. School is located in Heyward, California.
Long Beach State
Illinois State
Indiana State
West Texas A&M
Lamar
McNeese State
Chattanooga
Western Carolina
Idaho
All looking to go or rumored as targets for FBS.
Delaware was a D1 major independent back in the 1930s would add a former high level school back to the top level.
Former independents or in major confernces before D1, 2 and 3 and FCS.
Southern Illinois
West Texas A&M (former rivals are New Mexico, New Mexico State, Texas Tech, North Texas, Wichita State, Tulsa, UTEP and Northern Arizona. Forcing them to FCS hurt them where they are located. They needed a waiver.)
Tennesee State was an Independent until 1982 in FBS. Now, they would not have been forced to FCS with their stadium size.
Montana and Montana State were always at the highest level.
Tampa U.
CSU.- Los Angeles
Cal. Poly-Pomona (before the PCAA was formed)
The old west coast conference before the PCAA was formed also had Chico State and Southern Oregon in the conference.
Chattanooga
East Tennessee State
Western Carolina been rumored of looking around.
Northern Michigan
SWAC 1977 conference that just moved to D1.
Washburn
Hardin-Simmons
Trinity,Texas
West Texas A&M was the school that really got the screw job in 1982. They could have joined UTEP in the WAC. They have won some conference football titles in Border and MVC.
