There will not be 362 schools in the top division in a few years.

I think it makes more sense - and as likely - that fake college sports teams like Alabama and Georgia join the professional ranks.

Georgia's "NBA" level team according to you, Sitting Bull, owns only one win vs your William & Mary Tribe. However, that lone win is all that we have against you because you ran from us. But I can see why considering that we beat you 77-44.

As for Alabama, I checked the last time the Tide bothered to play the Tribe in men's basketball. I did a thorough check and found nothing.

Alabama's basketball team is slated to get a new arena, so I suppose it is possible that a Tribe fan could be very jealous of that.

For starters, my error, I didn’t take your thread as strictly regarding basketball, particularly when you threw in the FCS label which is football related. So no, I would never associate Georgia or Alabama even remotely as NBA level programs. I think both would struggle to be mid tier teams in many smaller school conferences.

For W&M, the SEC doesn’t register much basketball interest, especially since we sit in ACC country. No one is pining for games with Alabama when we can play Virginia, Duke and North Carolina - all teams we have beaten before. We also have wins over Auburn and South Carolina - those are about as notable for us as wins over VMI and Furman. SEC basketball without Kentucky is a snooze fest.

And no, we’re not impressed with any arena updates at Alabama. We have our own upgrades.

Here, let me rephrase what I was saying:

SEC
B1G
PAC-12
ACC
Big XII
MWC
AAC } new Div IA for basketball and
SBC Olympic sports
MAC
C-USA
Big East
Atlantic 10
WCC

CAA
Ivy League
Patriot League
Summit League } new Div IB for basketball and Olympic sports
A-Sun
MVC
Big Sky
Big West
etc.

Football stays the same.

Division IA goes to NCAA men's tournament and College world series tournament. Division IB goes to a different NCAA men's tournament (NIT maybe?) and to a different College World Series Tournament.

Now do you understand???

Just no. The P5 are not interested in schools that do not play football. No Big East, No A10 and no WCC schools in the mixed. That is why they are not wanted in any P5 conferences. If Villanova, St John's and Georgetown had FBS football? They could be picked up by ACC. That would mean Wichita State have to add football to stay with the AAC.

I added D2 schools because once that there are playoffs involved in FBS, and that rules changes for schools upgrading from D2 are relaxed and that schools add football and other sports to be part of this. We could see some type of upgrading more schools from D2 from the larger schools to join the 1AA/FCS ranks. Then the FBS schools have can have votes for all sports that are in FBS and the FCS have their own seperate votes for their league of all sports. That way, nobody would get demoted to a lower level in the NCAAs. They only get promoted.

My eyes rolled up into my head when I read Sacramento St. Stopped reading after that.

Sacramento State already plays FBS sized stadium.

You mean that 350+ schools will not have access to certain DI championships?

What is the difference between FBS and FCS? Scholarships and bowl eligibility? Can they flatten the rules?

1. 85 max scholarships, ~155 scholarships the last two years to count as a bowl eligible win
2. 11 game standard, a 12th game allowed but disqualifies team from NCAA playoff
3. bowls (and CFP) continue to operate on top of NCAA structure

Could even see the scholarship count being reduced to 65, and the power teams entice their players with NIL stuff.

Yeah those are two differences but not it. Lots of FCS have really crappy facilities and are super barebones on university support. Some FCS conferences don’t have sport scholarships and just academic ones. Then you have the FCS conferences that limit the sports scholarships to less than 65. The issue is FCS has become a cost containment subdivision and FBS is the go hard in the paint division. Then you have those schools having voting rights lumped in with FBS schools.

The stuff you mentioned is great but if a school is willing to do that then they would of wanted to go FBS already. If they don’t which is the issue then we are back to the FBS conferences becoming a whole new division idea.

The issue with FCS schools is that the hybrid conferences where the football schools at times are limited because the basketball schools want them to give out the same number of scholarships. They do get money for upgrading facilities.
