Wick250:
The NCAA currently separates Division I football into only two divisions, FBS and FCS. Both are badly flawed with, for example, Kent State and Ohio State placed in FBS while Dayton is technically in the same category as NDSU. After the Power 5 make their own rules this winter, which will include eventually paying their players through a "full cost of attendance" scholarship, do you really think that the NCAA will operate THREE divisions of Division I football? (Power 5 - the rest of FBS - FCS) I don't. The NCAA will continue to offer only two divisions, Power 5 and everybody else. All those schools who cannot possibly pay their players will come down to us. We do not have to spend millions going up to them. And when FCS and the non-Power 5 teams are merged, FCS schools will have the numerical advantage. Welcome to 63 scholarships, MAC and Sun Belt.
YSURON:
NO
penguinpower:
We are already division 1.

I would love for YSU to move up to 1A. Frankly I think it would have more appeal then playing in 1AA. Yes I know FBS and FCS. Who cares about watching the Dakotas or Indiana State? Put some half decent 1A team in here and I bet people will come.
Spiderlegs:
Those voting yes should leave their names and phone numbers for the fund raising. We will need at least $5 million from you. Every year. Well, not that amount every year. The amount needed will actually go up every year. And, by the way, the $5 million will be just for the privilege of playing in the MAC. Maybe win that prestigious Motor City Bowl berth.
