I do think that it is interesting that Idaho's AD recently said this...

Quote:As you can see, conference revenue from being in an FBS conference is significant and most likely will influence other Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) schools to look at opportunities to join an FBS conference. As you know, the Sun Belt also announced that two premier FCS schools (Appalachian State and Georgia Southern) also will be joining its conference. The Big Sky is currently an FCS conference for football.

I predict that in the next 3-5 years you will see other FCS programs move to the FBS level and possibly form another FBS football league.

The return of the WAC...

What's funny to me, is that the WAC leftovers turned their nose up at the non BSC options like Lamar and JSU. But they're joining the Belt which is now largely FCS moveups and likely to have even more moveups. They should have freaking invited Lamar a couple years ago. And JSU for football only. Then maybe TxSt would have stayed and the WAC could have added NDSU and a couple of other schools. I'm not a Benson fan but the WAC screwed up by not listening to him in this case. Not inviting Lamar was D-U-M-B.

I doubt adding Lamar would have had any effect on getting western schools to move up. If they had been added, there would have been 3 homeless at the time instead of the 2.
