Austin peay staidum doesn’t even have capacity for FBS minimum attendance reqs. You’re supposed to have 15k average and their stadium only holds 10k
YSUGO:
Read this article the Austin Peay Prez made some good comments on why and how.

Good point on the recruiting angle, does not matter how good the team or league is, high school kids get starstruck about FBS. Look at the kids we lose to the mac.
