FCS is great and enjoy being able to actually play for a national championship because once you move FBS it is only about money and playing for bowl games. It will do wonders when it comes to marketing the U from TV and media perspective however, you will pretty much be relegated to never playing for a national championship ever. NY6 is not out of the question but C-USA has a lot to prove as a conference before that is on the table for any of us. Kennesaw has a good chance of going FBS in the future but you need to get out of a soccer stadium and build an actual stand alone football field. Hopefully you guys can replace SHSU and JSU as the powerhouse teams in the south otherwise Montana and the Dakotas will continue to run the FCS for years to come.
A stadium is a stadium there are FBS teams that play in a soccer stadiums. KSU stadium is good enough it just need to be expanded. An expanded 5th third bank stadium (KSU Stadium) would still look nicer then some C-USA stadiums.

That's great if that works for y'all but I would not want my football team playing in a soccer stadium. I'm not a huge fan of Frisco's stadium hosting the FCS Championship. I know SHSU's stadium is far from mediocre to be completely honest but we have something better coming down the pipeline once an announcement is made. It is also nice knowing that the stadium is yours and doesn't need to be shared with other sports. But to each their own.
KSU owns their stadium BTW. A stadium does not make a team. Look at Cincinnati they play in a soccer stadium and they made the CFP and going to the Big 12.
Yes but KSU has never been a semifinalist or even a clear top 5 team. They just play in a weak conference against weak opponents. If SHSU played in the Big South they'd never lose a game. 03-lmfao

There are a few reasons to consider KSU in expansion. Beating JSU a few times and winning a couple of playoff games aren't one of them. Also, EKU and UCA both have better stadiums than your soccer field, which drew less than 2k fans for a PLAYOFF GAME. #NoFBS

WTF KSU stadium looks way nicer than EKU and UCA. Use google. ATL United pay KSU to use their stadium. lol

Watching Liberty play basketball at KSU and at EKU, and by a mile, EKU had the much more lively, better crowd.

I can't speak for their basketball fans, but in defense of KSU fans overall, they're pretty good, especially when they 1) know the opponent and 2) have something tangible to play for.

They're also an excellent team to hate.

None of us really know what's gone on behind closed doors in discussions between KSU and CUSA, so this is all speculation, but if KSU's administration has expressed an interest in joining, the onus is on them to follow through while still at the FCS level.

It's not enough to have a "master plan" containing nice facility upgrades... you have to have broken ground on several of those facilities. If that's happening in Kennesaw, then it's just a question of numbers and timing on CUSA's end.

I still believe they're waiting for JSU and SHSU to get farther along in their transition before adding more FCS teams. (Again, speculation.) This gives schools like Tarleton, SFA, EKU, and KSU a chance to make (or continue) tangible upgrades to their facilities, budget, and staffing. The further along those upgrades go, the easier it will be for CUSA to pull the trigger. (The nice thing is, such upgrades should help in recruiting, which should boost your rankings across the board, further strengthening your case to move up.)

If any school is hesitant to make those upgrades while in FCS, they may be left behind, when/if expansion comes around again. It's a gamble.

All KSU needs to do is expand there stadium

This is not true. I think you're confusing the fact that FC Cincinnati played at UC's football stadium for a while (they don't anymore). It was always a football-first stadium.

I agree that would be probably be enough. But KSU leadership does not seem to show any urgency or want to do so right now.
