So they rather be a middle road team in the FBS then actually compete in the FCS for National Titles? Sure, they might be better then Bowling Green, UTSA, and Florida International but so what?
They will win exactly zero National Championships at the FBS level, ever. I don't think they have any idea how high of a level funding and general performance are at SEC and ACC. Schedule a non-conference game against LSU or Florida before committing to FBS.
