Anyone else think they belong in the FBS?

Absolutely.

But they should stay in FCS and continue to dominate

They don't want in, because they like killing the FCS every year.

Why join the FBS? Your options:

1. Win every national championship.
2. Fight to maybe earn a berth in the Popeye's Bahamas Bowl.

All of these schools that either made the leap or started a brand new program at the top thought that these things would be cash cows and they just aren't. You can't invent tradition.

They stuffed the ball right down Iowas throat

5X FCS Champions

Carson Wentz starting for the Eagles.

They are better than a lot of FBS teams...

YES! I've thought for a long time that the North Dakota schools belong in D1. They both average around 25K attendance and bring more to college football than the 8 D1 schools in Ohio that barely get 15K to come to their games.

No.

Going back in history, Troy was a top 10 program in Division 2. They're a nobody now. Jacksonville State stayed in D2 and now gets to play for championships.

I think I'd rather be Jacksonville State.

Why?

They'd turn into Idaho with their little 20k seat stadium and no appeal to FBS level recruits.
