Because of alum $$ pressure, the NCAA "created" the FCS from D1aa. REAL D1(D1a) was and still is THE top level football in the NCAA......regardless of what ego's say.Last edited by Herb Street; 07-23-2018, 12:59 PM.

Cal-Baptist joins this year from D2
CSU-Bakersfield will be leaving for the Big West in 2020
Chicago State still seems to be breathing
Grand Canyon is doing very well
UMKC is still D1 for now
New Mexico State still hopes for an invite from an FBS conference
Seattle still hopes to go to the WCC
UTRGV is the only D1 school that I don't have a cap from........yet. Oops- I need a Cal Baptist one now too.
Utah Valley is a school that I know very little about

Re: UT Tyler moving to D2 and LSC
Originally posted by catatonic View PostWe must be very foolish then. We paid big bucks by Southland Conference standards to hire a D2 coach and turned down an assistant coach from a blue blood P5 school.
Actually, I thought we made a good hire although I was a little concerned when he hired an almost all his staff from D2 ranks and a recruiting director with no Texas high school connections.

Originally posted by Herb Street View PostWhile there are exceptions, D2 coaches usually can't get it done at D1, and that is in all sports. And I suppose the opposite could very well be true. There have been more than a few modestly successful D1 coaches that were awful in D2.
D1 and D2 are very different animals.
Those in athletics administration know this fully; D1 coaching hires from the D2 ranks are not very common, and when they do occur, it is most often a desperate, hail-mary move for a program struggling to stay afloat.
Women's basketball seems to be the only sport where good D2 coaches are consistently able to transfer their prowess to D1.

Originally posted by catatonic View PostLouisiana schools not named LSU are all hurting financially. Nicholls more than most. They hustle every dollar they can by scheduling games against big schools...pay for play...and so forth.
They have done an excellent job with very limited resources. They have done so by focusing the little they have on a few sports rather than spreading limited dollars around.
