Times are incredibly different now as opposed to when App St. moved up. I typed that somewhat in jest, but what is the end game now. I don’t want to be resigned to the fact that we are just a farm system for the P4, soon to be P2, schools. Kids using us as a stepping stone and we are just a revolving door of kids coming and going.
As someone who was attending UNT when we went into the season ranked No. 1 in I-AA under the late great Corky Nelson, I think you overestimate the joys of life in college football's second tier.
Let's say we drop a level, hire Jerry Moore and have the same juggernaut run that his App State team did -- three national titles, Michigan upset and all the rest. What did App State do after 13 years of FCS greatness? They moved up. Even with that incredible fan support in Boone, they said goodbye FCS hello Sun Belt. Would anyone there go back down even with today's madness?
