Re: WAC FCS Football?

Your reasoning makes zero sense. There are FCS schools all across the country making facility upgrades. The reason is to stay competitive in recruiting at our level, not move up to FBS. When Montana, Weber and Davis all made facility upgrades, MSU has to make similar advances or we would have been at a disadvantage in recruiting.Siouxfan wrote: ↑Mon Oct 21, 2019 2:27 pmCompare the Montanas to Southern Utah or Idaho State.ilovethecats wrote: ↑Mon Oct 21, 2019 2:20 pmAt what point to fcs facility upgrades become fbs facilities?

This isn’t brain science, except for FCS fans.
The kitty fans just conveniently ignore the Bozeman article yesterday that said the BSC needs to split because it’s too bloated.
Such a funny topic
Montana State facilities almost knock one out for HS grads.
FCS schools making improvement for FCS are far less grandiose.
To get FBS recruits, the facilities have to be fabulous. FCS, merely passable.
Also, the academic support facilities at FBS are very good compared to FCS.
Delaware, James Madison, Jacksonville St, Stony Brook, Kennesaw St, Albany, NC A&T, E Kentucky, Sam Houston St, Lamar, McNeese St and other are all moving up by 2025 IMHO to get part of the CFP revenue and more national exposure.Cataholic wrote: ↑Mon Oct 21, 2019 7:24 pmYour reasoning makes zero sense.

Boy, WAC sure nailed them with a penality for joining. 4 years until most of their sports can get an automatic qualifier bid for winning the conference.BelgradeBobcat wrote: ↑Tue Nov 12, 2019 8:08 pmAnother addition to the Land of Misfit Toys Conference. Football will be an FCS independent. They'll probably have to play Dixie State three times a year to get enough games.
I think that has more to do with how bad NMSU is than how good Dixie State is...Montanabob wrote: ↑Sun Mar 07, 2021 7:20 pmWell damn, dixie state almost beat NMSU. Losing late in 4th 35-29
Won't they be starting from scratch for football?
Yes
We lose Sam Houston State, Jacksonville State, and James Madison.Montanabob wrote: ↑Sun Nov 14, 2021 2:07 pm[media]Based on this year’s start date for college football, the projected first kickoff for UTRGV football will be in 1,388 days, on or around Aug. 30, 2025.[/media]Yes
