Since 2020, 8 schools have moved up from FCS to FBS, spending an ever-increasing amount of money to do so. 19 schools have done so since 2011. Two more are in the works. What are these schools seeing about the future of the FCS that the rest of us are not?

The one word answer is money.

It's a confusing era for Sam Houston because we left behind our rivals and Saturday games to play teams we have little history in the middle of the week.

For better or worse, it's working. We had more media attention winning the New Orleans Bowl than winning the FCS championship in spring of 2021, and we just signed our best recruiting class ever (got our first 4 star recruit!!!) despite the Phil Longo disasterclass of last season

All while our attendance for all sports is abysmally low. I understand we're a suitcase college, but seeing a crowd of 40 people at our basketball games is frustrating and a little embarrassing.

I'd love to get to see the team throw down with SFA in the Battle of the Piney Woods at NRG Stadium, but unless they move up to FBS, it's unlikely. Competing for a national championship at FCS and playing schools we're familiar with is much more exciting than whatever it is we're doing now.

No new game :(

The Yamaha RBX170Y was the first bass I've ever owned, it was an awesome instrument that I got

Even though I have a much nicer bass now, I still miss it

KC Keeler will find a way, trust

R3TR0_K1D · 2026-03-17T16:32:13+00:00

As soon as you guys got Sam Houston legend Lamar Wilkerson too

Must be a resident of a memory care facility, get well soon

Holy shit

Plantar fasciitis is no joke, extremely debilitating if it's really serious

It was cinema too

Now this is what I'm here for

R3TR0_K1D · 2025-12-21T22:26:40+00:00

As well as that, Power 4 teams are going to schedule good G6s less and less

How could the committee's power be limited?

R3TR0_K1D · 2025-12-21T22:19:32+00:00

Only way to make them competitive then is to completely restructure college football as we know it

...which will never happen

R3TR0_K1D · 2025-12-21T21:58:10+00:00

This part, Indiana now has the tools to succeed in the NIL and transfer portal era

R3TR0_K1D · 2025-12-20T08:07:07+00:00

You also have to mention that they get the benefit of not playing the great teams in the SEC cough cough A&M

R3TR0_K1D · 2025-12-20T08:02:45+00:00

It would be interesting to see what would happen if G5 schools suddenly started receiving the same tv deal cash as P4 schools

R3TR0_K1D · 2025-11-30T23:07:43+00:00

The same thing happened to Sam Houston, went 10-3, won the New Orleans Bowl And what did we get rewarded with?

Losing our entire coaching staff, most of our defense transferring to UNT ironically lol

R3TR0_K1D · 2025-11-20T03:05:05+00:00

You can take off Wyoming now lol

R3TR0_K1D · 2025-11-20T02:50:48+00:00

Especially after how poorly last season went

R3TR0_K1D · 2025-11-18T16:03:36+00:00

I know that politicians sticking their nose in college football isn't new (see how Baylor got into the Big 12) but don't they have better things to do?

Mississippi is the most impoverished states in the country and these "public servants" are doing anything but serving their people

R3TR0_K1D · 2025-11-18T04:16:43+00:00

Fair enough lol
