App & FBS

[phoenix3]

With all the talk of App moving to the FBS in football, (which I hope they do BTW), it's kind of interesting to note that the only sport for which they have a decent D1 team is D1 FCS, ie. football. There is a lot of scuttlebut about their joining the CUSA. I can't imagine that they would get a CUSA invite in a million years. At that level they would have a mediocre football team. And with the way they stink at basketball and really suck at baseball, I don't even think the MAC or Sunbelt would have them. But, I guess it's hard when you have nothing at which you can compete at the highest level of NCAA sports.

it's all about $$$$ and more or should it be Moore Money. If they can make a C-USA deal work then the more the better but other D-1 moves would make it doable. Like Villanova and Central Florida going to Big East as full members opening a slot. There are so many new move ups and recent and projected start ups in FCS , ODU, Ga State, UNCC, Campbell may go Big South plus others there is going to a premium on talent more than ever for quality players. I'm sure App feels left behind w/ Marshall ,USF Boise St & UConn that were successful moving up a decade earlier. We'll see .
