Missouri State to C-USA
There's already a thread on this, in the proper forum: -

Sonny Dykes predicts future split among P4, G5 schools: 'Alabama and La Tech aren't playing the same sport'
There are different levels of "ignoring." Relative to UT and A&M, the networks largely ignore Tech and Baylor. The football world is far more aware of us now than they were when we were 1-AA. When we hung with Georgia for a half, the college football world paid attention. When we spanked Arkansas in a game that featured (one of?) the greatest special teams plays of all time, the college football world paid attention. If we become part of the "new FCS," the media and average football fan will pay us less attention than ever. I know the current NIL and transfer portal situation works against G5 schools, but I don't think running away from P4 schools is the answer. And I could be mistaken, but I don't think the current scenario is sustainable for college football generally speaking in the long term. I hope a solution can be found that can bring some semblance of amateurism back to college football. And maybe it can bring a little parity between FBS schools along with it. -

Missouri State is not a bad pickup at all, but the fact that something called Jacksonville State and Kennesaw State are in your conference as FBS is making the point that Sonny Dykes makes. They are not the same as even UAB or Southern Miss, much less Alabama or Ole Miss. -

Morris signals it is over
I quit it all after 2022. It just sickened me to watch everyone with any talent just transfer away to the highest bidder. High school football has more staying power and name recognition than G5 football. And that won't change until/unless the portal rules get changes, which won't happen. Greed killed college football for me. I just can't stand watching it anymore. -

So, if we are looked at that way by those guys, which is weird since the AAC doesn't look at us that way, but if they do and can create a level of play that is above G5, but not included in the Power Structure of these 40 behemoth programs, how many teams do they let in? In your view, Boston College, Syracuse, Wake Forest, Northwestern, Purdue. SMU, UCF, Cincy, UH, Mississippi State, Vandy, TCU, Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas State, and Cal are gonna just play in their own setup? They have to have more teams. Even if you added 10 more demoted power schools, you'd find that they would need more programs. Well, that would mean teams from the top two G5 leagues, the MWC and the AAC, as well as anyone else that could compete. If you are right and we would be relegated to a Sam Houston, SFA, and ULM level, then football at UNT needs to be discontinued. The drain is too much at that point. You wouldn't have bodybag games to pay for the rest of the athletic department anymore. But I just don't see us falling that low. UTEP or La Tech? Yeah, maybe so. But not us or UTSA.
