Appy Not Moving Up Anytime Soon - HerdZoned - 09-29-2008 11:29 AM
Cobb: Appalachian not moving to FBS soon
Though he's thought about it, athletic director says, no decision could be made for at least two or three years.
Is Appalachian State – riding the wave of three national titles in the NCAA's Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division 1-AA) – considering a move to the Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division 1-A)?
ASU athletic director Charlie Cobb said Thursday that he has given some thought to the idea, but that no decision will be forthcoming for at least two or three years.
Appy In No Hurry

I don't think there was any great hurry to expand anyway. Maybe the belt can nab a few of those new bowl possibilities by then.

I think Appy moving up will trigger some other schools such as James Madison and UMass to take the plunge. It might lead to a formation of an East Coast non-BCS conference, perhaps with Army, Navy, one or two CUSA East schools and choice MAC East school or two plus these newcomers.
