There is no such thing as FCS in anything but football.

Not to be a smartazz, but I will believe it when it actually happens until then me thinks it a nice dream.

They aren't winning a NC. But I was responding to the inference that smaller D1 programs can't be competitive. They most certainly can.

Who CARES!!!!! Tarleton IS making the leap. Be HAPPY for them and wish them much SUCCESS.

Geeeessshhhh!!!!

People like you got nothin' better to do
Than throw rocks at things that shine
Well, you oughta be chasin' your own dreams
'Stead of shootin' holes in mine
Then again, keep it comin'
Keep your big mouth runnin'
Keep kickin' me while I'm down
Hop on the bandwagon, man, while you can
Better doubt me now

Keep buildin' that chip up on my shoulder
Keep feedin' that monkey on my back
I can feel your hot air blowin' in colder
Stokin' this fire up under my ass
Got me livin' for the day, gonna see my face
Big as life and laughin' out loud
Lovin' all you haters
Beggin' you to doubt me now

Like a walk-on quarterback, a wannabe Cadillac
A backup to the third string
I'm outside the box, ain't got no shot
At the bullseye or the brass ring
Yeah, I heard it all, bet you thought I'd crawl
Under a rock and never wanna come out
But I'll never let you give me a reason
To doubt me now

So keep buildin' that chip up on my shoulder
Keep feedin' that monkey on my back
I can feel your hot air blowin' in colder
Stokin' this fire up under my ass
Got me livin' for the day, gonna see my face
Big as life and laughin' out loud
Lovin' all you haters
Beggin' you to doubt me now
C'mon!

Yeah, keep buildin' that chip up on my shoulder
Keep feedin' that monkey on my back
I can feel your hot air blowin' in colder
Stokin' this fire up under my ass
Got me livin' for the day, gonna see my face
Big as life, last laughin' out loud
Lovin' all you haters
Beggin' you to doubt me now
Yeah, I love all you haters
Come on and doubt me now
Try and doubt me now
Hop on the bandwagon

I know most of you do not give a rat's @$$, but...Sarah Butler Carthel, former Big 12 Freshman of the Year (UT), former 3 time D2 All American at WTAMU, former 2 time D2 National Player of the Year At WTAMU, and former assistant coach at WTAMU and TAMUC, is a volunteer assistant coach at SFA.

That's correct

Carthels are everywhere.

Similar to football, the transitive property has no proof for vball.

FCS is somewhat different from FBS in terms of parity. In FBS, you have approximately forty strong programs -- with just a handful of perennial elite programs among them. In FCS, the differences aren't quite as stark. I think that Tarleton State can quickly become competitive. In fact, if you look at the current Top 25 FCS ranking, a handful of those schools were D2 within the last decade or so. In fact, I remember following Texas A&M University-Kingsville as they played against UC-Davis, Nicholls State and some of the other currently-ranked FCS teams back when they were D2.

In fact, South Dakota State University began their transition to FCS in 2004. By 2009, they were in the FCS playoffs. That season, they lost to Minnesota (an FBS school) by a field goal. The next season, they put up a strong fight against a fairly strong Nebraska team (which finished the season ranked #18 in the nation) losing by just two touchdowns. In 2015, they defeated Kansas (an FBS school).

The transition to FCS is just that -- a transition. Tarleton State will do just fine. In fact, I'd love to see them excel at their new level.

Chrisss is right about Tarelton but the scholarship transition and not competing for playoffs and conference tournaments can be difficult. Not sure if that is NCAA or conference rules. I like watching college football at any level and with so much video out there you can see really good teams at non FBS levels. Just like HS football, if it is your team it is a joy to watch despite the number of A's. I will be at Mckinney and Frisco to watch NC games cause I live in that area and enjoy both. By the way, and close to topic, LSC track and Field is D1 quality in many events.
