LOL.

These poor students going to these conferences. To not play in a bowl or playoff.

How will the historic ASUN and WAC schools make any impact in the FBS? I am assuming they make more money somehow. But this is a bubble to pop soon.

Is there any explanation anywhere for why they want to do this?
The following is from the ESPN report on this event:

https://www.espn.com/college-football/s ... ources-say

"The reasoning for the new league is, according to sources, “greater certainty in scheduling and recruiting” and a clear pathway to the highest levels of college football. Also, the schools expect increased revenue through a more lucrative broadcast contract and increased guarantee-game revenue because the games would count toward bowl eligibility if they became an FBS league."

Of course there will be a mad dash to sign these schools to a multi-million dollar deal just because of tbe FBS level. All this does is to hurry the power 5’s to create their own entity away from the ncaa.

GoPaladins.com is the latest iteration of The Unofficial Furman Football Page. Launched in August of 1996, The UFFP welcomes fans of all FCS football teams - and fans of the more inferior sports, too - for discussion, cameraderie, and even the occasional smack talk.

For example, Furman has nearly twice as many Southern Conference football championships as the next best SoCon member, and over three times as many as The Citadel....which is why they must carry our luggage
