I'm anti-football at WSU, but I don't get this anti-project thing. It's obviously false. The league clearly had plenty of time for project schools.

Someone else mentioned feasibility study adding 3 years. That was already done as WSU was looking for an exit strategy from the MVC.

In reality, I think the real feasibility study takes about an hour and 3 or 4 phone calls.

...if you already have an FBS stadium and a FOC and numbers lying around about what women’s sport to add...etc

Real bad idea.

Yes. Let's get back to twelve and have a geographically balanced conference.

Not when you got the juco talent so easily accessible, like they do in Kansas. Obviously, you don't want to recruit that type of player exclusively. But it does help get a program, especially a start up program, off the ground.

That's how Bill Snyder turned around K-State from one of the worst programs in the history of college football, into a decent, at one time, dominant football program. I do believe Wichita State and Kansas State used to be fairly even in the 1980s in football, and the Shockers one a couple too.

Kind of like USF in CUSA back in 2001/2002?

Yeah - Kansas can't even find any FB players - they are something like UConn when it comes to FB.

Well, Kansas has some great Juco programs. LastChanceU is about one of them. Plenty of out-of-state players coming to those schools. And they get good players to come there for basketball/baseball. They could get a team there again if they wanted it.

You're 100% correct

But odds are they aren't willing to go down that road.

Ignorance is bliss I suppose

Are you not late for a game at one of the 11 schools you root for?

All I did was call you out on the inaccuracies of your statement. But so much for engaging in stimulated conversation. And I'm the rookie?

Yes Jr, you are....

panama sure has a stern opinion about conference possibilities for a conference his team doesn’t reside in.

Maybe he thinks the spot is reserved for Georgia State in the future...

...or maybe entertained by the prospect of a message board starting football for a university that doesn't seem to want football.

Lol

Please continue...

He better watch his back door, Kennesaw St will be passing GA St despite all of the facilities handed to them. KSU is already about even on the FB field ( I think KSU has better attendance too) & has always been better on the diamond. Think KSU also won a D2 natl champion or NAIA in MBB, something GA St has never done.

Kennesaw State? Plays in a 1/3 full 8300 seat soccer stadium Kennesaw State? Has no money to build a FOC Kennesaw State?

You're seriously comparing MBB programs. They suck and we are the best program in this state. Period.

The new BOR rules on facilities building and student fees will keep KSU in FCS forever. Next time do your research.

Do my research says the guy who claims GA St is the best program in the state of GA? Also says KSU sucks but GA St barely beat KSU last season 24-20 - like you said, really? KSU is a FCS program that averages better attendance than GA St. KSU has only been playing FB 4 yrs but have already won the Big South conference twice (when did GA St win a FB conference title?) . And that BOR rule you mentioned? Was changed directly to keep GA St from raping the students. Like I said, you better be looking over your shoulder..... you're losing ground.

In MBB?

Who's better. Three NCAAs in 5 years. We best Tech to death a "friendly" and the last time we payed UGA was 15 years ago or more and ran them out of the gym. So seriously, who is GA is better? Asking for a friend.

The BOR rules are for anyone wanting to play in FBS; Us, GA Southern and yes Kennesaw if they want. Thats the student fee rule. The facilities rule speaks as to having money in the bank before shovels go in the ground. We have invested over $100M thus far in buying the Turner Field property and two phases of construction. Kennesaw State doesn't two nickels to run together. I know people in corporate real estate for the USG. They are going nowhere. They have won the Big South in front of a half empty stadium.

How can they average better attendance in a 8300 seat stadium!?!? Lol

Man you're entertaining today

Aaaa, this is a FB thread, we're talking FB, apparently something GA St knows little about. And BTW don't think you'll get much natl support for the idea that GA St has the "best program in the state of GA", or even within the state except by some rah rah GA St supporter.

So you want to add a school that doesn't have football and place them in our Conference at the FBS level. We just dropped one anchor on our SOS and you want to add one that is potentially worse. I am so glad you aren't making any decisions for the Conference.

What was the result of that earlier feasibility study?
