RE: Which teams should leave FBS?
From the article...
"these teams didn’t scan 15,000 fans into their games: ULM, Coastal Carolina, Buffalo, Eastern Michigan, Ball State, UMass, Kent State, San Jose State, Miami (Ohio), Central Michigan, Charlotte, UL Lafayette, Akron, Northern Illinois, UTEP, Arkansas State, New Mexico State, Ohio, Western Michigan, Middle Tennessee, Texas State, Nevada, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, UNLV, Old Dominion, Toledo, UTSA, Southern Miss, Marshall, Louisiana Tech, Wyoming, Connecticut, and Western Kentucky."
While I don't think all of these teams need to step down, some really can afford to play at the FBS level.
This woun't be popular with most on the board, but if it came down to the P5 conferences officially separating from the rest of the FBS, or some of these programs being forced out of the FBS, I'd support forcing some of these programs out. I think the FBS would be better top to bottom if it was reduced down to about 85 teams. I think the conferences outside of the P5, would have better and more competitive members and be stronger.
