North Alabama definitely moving up but how far?

I'm in favor of FCS but there could be something in the works involving a package of Jax State, USA, and UNA to one of the D1A conferences. I just hope they are sure about what they are doing.

Sweet lord, now people on here have devolved to calling it 1A again.

Sounds like you guys may end up biting off more than you can chew...I think UNA is a great fit for FCS football, but FBS is a huge stretch IMO, unless you guys have a Scrushy or a Movie Gallery to bankroll it.

Any talk of what two sports UNA would add to get to the FCS minimum or four for the FBS minimum?

[JaxSinfonian]

I'm guessing the FBS talk is probably an attempt to make a move to FCS seem like the reasonable, responsible course of action. Is this the first time FBS has been mentioned? I'll bet an FCS announcement is coming soon.

Don't see USA in any such mix, since they are in the Sun Belt.

I call it that because unless you are in an FBS conference, you may as well be called 1A. In the FCS, you are FCS regardless of what conference you are in (as far as I know).

I think you are right. IMHO, I think FCS is where UNA and Troy SHOULD BE and JSU should stay. I really see no point in a Corolla (great little cars) moving to a division ran by Ferrari, Porsche, Rolls-Royce etc.

20 years ago people where saying the same thing, except it was about D2 and not FCS.
Womens indoor/outdoor track(counts as two sports but use the same athletes and scholarships) or rifle (which is co-ed) would be the two best choices

Don't think UNA is going to want to go that route

We've got some people here who could but unfortunately they send their money to the school in the Smokies.
