Quote: Sources close to Tarleton indicate that the school may still be a year or two away from being prepared to transition to FBS, and the chances of the Texans jumping to CUSA if invited is well above zero. It will take UTRGV some time to be ready for FBS competition, with the Vaqueros set to play its first football game in program history in 2025.

But what about the other schools? Would SFA or Abilene Christian consider an early exit to FBS if a conference comes with an invitation? The answer is a firm no, and there are plenty of reasons why, according to sources I spoke to for this piece.

“They’re a lot further ahead with their athletic department than we are, so we had no desire to make that jump with them,” one coach said. “The plan was to go to the WAC together and move up as a league, and they chose to act on an opportunity that presented itself.”
