But I don't see the league as a whole being able to raise its level of play on the field to becoming equal with the current G5. As far as level of play is concerned, the HBCU leagues are MUCH closer to DII than they are to FBS. Sure, they'll get better recruits on average than they get now, because they're FBS, but that doesn't mean they'll be competitive at that level. The MEAC and SWAC are FCS now and they're top teams are nowhere near the top of our division. See FCS playoff results since 1999 if you need a measuring stick.
