Coercing Hawaii to move down to FCS would help too.

D2 upgrades are not the route to go.

Big West was a former FBS conference.

Cal-San Diego wants to move up, and thinking of adding football.

Azusa Pacific does have a 10,000 seat stadium, and the Big West could used them along with the other 3 California schools to boast up their teams. Azusa would be football only while the rest of the sports go to the WAC.

D2 schools that could make the move to help with football wise?
Azusa Pacific
Humboldt State
Dixie State
Central Washington
Simon Fraser
Western Oregon
Colorado Mesa
Colorado Mines
Colorado State-Pueblo
West Texas A&M

Schools out west that could start football?
Cal-San Diego
Long Beach State
East Bay State
Northridge State
Fullerton State
Cal.-Irvine
Western Washington
Grand Canyon
Utah Valley
Seattle
UTRG
Montana State-Billings
Chico State
Sonoma State
Santa Clara
Cal.-Riverside
