Group 1:30,000 and above enrollments.
Group 2:20,000 to 29,999 enrollment.

As we look at this list, the schools with more than 30,000 students might be able to support an FBS football team. When schools like the Big West schools dropped football? They did not have the students enrolled at the time to support football like they do today. Some of the schools could use stadiums close by.
CSU-Domiguez Hills do hae an on campus stadium that was built for soccer. The cash to built the stadium was helped by the donations from the city and from the pro-soccer team that went there. Several schools on this list have been looking at adding football. UNF could use the pro stadium in Jacksonville.

Which schools on this list looks good to expand with? I say Wayne State Michigan to the Horizon looks like a perfect fit. They could park their football in MVFC with Youngstown State.
