Well, what your saying is not correct. They were division 1 conferences, not FBS conferences. Division 1 and Division 1-AA turned into FBS and FCS conferences. SoCon, MVC and Big West were never FBS conferences. The WAC was a FBS conference after the new designations by the NCAA for football divisions.

From reading the bylaw LU referenced, I would agree with that statement.

It says FBS not 1A. The WAC was the only other FBS conference not playing FBS today. The Big East transferred their FBS ticket to the AAC.

The point others made after this bylaw was brought up is that the College Football Playoffs (and their revenue payout) only include specific conferences and the WAC is not on that list. The WAC could start FBS but we not be part of the CFP or its contracts
