re: Legitimate Questions for the APP State fans..

Back in the late 90's, this same question came up. Recommendations from the student panel (which i was a member of) were:

* 4 lane highways from Charlotte to Boone and Winston-Salem to Boone (of course this was something that ASU had no control over)

* More hotel rooms (which ASU had no control)

* Increase attendance at home games (back then we were averaging in 12-13k range, 1A required 17k average)

* Increase marketing in Charlotte, Triad and Triangle areas (all within 3hrs driving)

* Stadium expansion and what conference we would join

Of course this was just after Marshall had left the SoCon to go 1A and they were very good the 1st couple of years of 1A football. I think some of our Alumni at the time had some marshall envy.

Now, most of the tools are in place for us to go FBS. Personally, I dont want App to go FBS. I know making the bowl game on the smurf turf pays more money, but I love the fact FCS decides the NC on the field.
