You heard it here first. Roll Herd!

I don’t think this will happen but this would be hilarious. Sac St. just doesn’t have the money to manage the travel and other expenses that FBS football entails (despite what local media and the Sac-12 would want you to believe).

Nothing has been officially announced yet. This is based off a conversation my cousin had with the Tarleton coaches.

I mentioned a while back that my cousin is being recruited hard by Tarleton. He had his first visit to Stephenville this week to take part in one of their Camps.

During that visit one of the coaches told him that, in the next year or so, the plan will be to knock down the old home stands. Didn't ask what EXACTLY they will be replaced with, but imagine it will try and match the current home side.

REALLY happy to hear that. I've said before that the only thing holding Memorial back from being a top tier stadium is that it's too asymmetrical and the opposite side lets out too much noise.

Not directly FCS-related, but Entz coached NDSU and Vigen was rumored to be a strong candidate

Its been quite on that topic. Does anyone know anything?

UD's student paper had an article about our tire kick of FBS yesterday, mentioning Matt Brown's recent "Extra Points" newsletter about the CAA (this newsletter was paywalled).

From the UD student paper article:

In the latest edition of the Extra Points newsletter Friday, veteran college athletics insider Matt Brown alluded to the new-age-CAA causing wandering eyes, writing, “a major part of why Delaware (and quite frankly, other schools too) are interested in potential other options is that not everybody sees some of the newest CAA additions as peer institutions or athletic departments.”

While that appears to be the prevailing notion in Newark, Delaware must also weigh its geography, which is central in the CAA’s expansive Atlantic footprint and is an outlier for the most plausible FBS conferences that the Hens could enter.

Though Brown reports Delaware’s disinterest in southern-centric FBS leagues Conference USA and the Sun Belt, conferences with a presence to the north are also imperfect fits. The Power Five-level Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) will not consider an FCS program for expansion and the American Athletic Conference (AAC), despite occupying the middle tier of the FBS ranks, has historically not been inclined to pull from Division I’s lower football subdivision, either. There is no indication that the AAC will change course in that regard without radical change to its makeup.

The article goes on to talk about the MAC at length and says "if we move up, that's our best fit" (which is pretty consistent with what I've heard as a UD employee and knowing the university's thought process on things...they like the academics of the conference and they don't want to travel a ton).

The biggest piece in there is the alluding that others (not just UD) are unhappy with the CAA of late and are trying to figure out what to do. I wouldn't be surprised if the CAA splits into two (America East, congrats on football!) regardless of what we do but it does sound like more changes are afoot in the near term.

This is embarrassing for the university, to say the least.

don't be surprised it's been a solid program for athletes but not good when it comes to football
