Murray State to MVFC

[Professor Chaos]

The Liberty situation boils down to $$$. That university is swimming in cash.

The idea that the MVFC could "move up" as a conference is beyond wishful thinking. Barriers to entry are created for a reason.

I don't think the MVFC as a whole would/could move up but if enough like minded FCS teams, most likely a conglomerate of MVFC and Big Sky schools, wanted to step up together and form a new FBS conference I don't think the NCAA would have much motivation to stop them if they have all the infrastructure in place. But the NCAA doesn't control bowl tie-ins or the CFP distribution which to me is the bigger hurdle since a new conference could not be competitive without those.
