Schools Jumping from FCS to FBS
From the main C-USA board, an article from CBS Sports about FCS schools making the jump to FBS schools: the reasons behind the moves and the conditions that make them possible.

Quote:ODU athletics director Wood Selig said the possibility of another moratorium is why his school moved so quickly.
"For me personally, it [a possible moratorium] created a major sense of urgency," Selig told David Teel of the Daily Press of Hampton Roads, Va.
Reason No. 2 is the same for Old Dominion as it is for Alabama: money and prestige. There is simply more of both in the bottom half of the FBS than in the top half of the FCS.
