You are essentially creating a subdivision though, that is not FBS. Ive conceded that is where this is headed, you have ADs in the MAC not wanting to grow, you have the ESPN deal completely decimating fan bases, we brought this on ourselves and I am resigned to the fate now. Feels like you are swimming against the current this day and age to want good things for the MAC. So many opposing forces in high positions at play.

That "playoff" mentioned by Frazier is just an FBS-G5-member tourney, and nothing more than a pipe dream. If "we" broke away to do that, sounds like it would create absolutely nothing new, or perhaps a new, "more official" designation in between the FCS and P5. In neither case does an FCS patch end up on a glorious cardinal and black NIU jersey. Relax Francis.

Mentioning a made up "FCS" move in a "G5" chatroom is like screaming "fire" and "masturbator" at the same time in a crowded theater. Resolve to spew less gloom and doom in 2019 please......

Thats like being sort of pregnant, you are either FBS or you are not

Trust me it pains me to be doom and gloom because I was once accused of being an annoying "homer and optimist" It just breaks me to see the direction NIU football and the MAC as a whole is heading. And all, self-inflicted wounds
