Hate gatekeepers. App got dissed a lot by many fans of G5 schools. If a school wants to fund FBS football then let them.

I agree
I see arguments on here all the time school A could never do it.
Their stadium is too small school is too small no fan base .
I watched too small CCU with a too small stadium and fan base move up. Their stadium is still smallish but kinda perfect their arena is small.
Take SUU their bigger than CCU stadium is comparable to Coastal's maybe ten years ago. Same could be said of Dixie St both have better basketball arenas . Somehow they can't do what Coastal already did.

But coastal was extremely successful in a lot of sports AND they kind of came out of left field and hit the ground running with facilities improvements. Most of the arguments on here are "if school x just does this that and this then they could meet the bare minimum for FBS". Often time those schools dont even have plans to do anything, its just wishful thinking by certain posters. Coastal just went and did what they needed to and is outperforming everyones expectations. Most importantly an FBS conference saw the potential in them and invited them. That hasnt happened with any of the fantasy FBS schools for a reason.
