Kennesaw State to C-USA?

[FUBeAR]

Y'all are so right. When people ask me (in Savannah, 30 miles from Statesboro) what conference Mercer is in I usually have to reply "SoCon", then add the qualifier "you know the conference Georgia Southern used to be in."
You’re leaving off the last (best) part of that… “…you know the Conference GaSou used to be very successful in before they decided to change and become completely irrelevant.”

Riiiight, KSU would hate to be GA Southern. Hiring the former head coach of the University of Southern California. What losers! hahahahaha

*sarcasm

[Daytripper]

There are literally legitimate pros and cons to both leaving for the possibilities of FBS and staying for familiarity and structure of the FCS. To each their own. I hope we are successful in the move to CUSA but there is no guarantee. The Sunbelt was the bottom dwelling FBS conference at one point and now they are the darlings of the G5. You never know what the future holds.

Of course GSU has 6 National Championships. Even if they aren't relevant now, they were at one time.

Depends on what you consider "relevant". Some probably consider being New Orleans Bowl champs to be more relevant than being FCS national champs.

[kdinva]

From a university standpoint, Kennesaw is far more FBS appropriate than JSU or SHSU.

From an athletics standpoint, woof. They got some serious work to do.

what about their stadium? Build new; or get expanded the current venue?

[JSUSoutherner]

Someone on the JSU board also pitched buying the Town Center mall and putting it there, but I doubt that could be swung. Even though it would be a super dope area for the stadium.

Obviously the NCAA doesn't enforce minimum attendance requirements anymore as most of the new FCS to FBS teams don't have a prayer of meeting them (JMU and JSU excluded)

I think it's funny that fans of teams with no realistic chance of winning an FCS national championship (even if NDSU moved on) are going to tell fans of other teams they shouldn't go FBS because "they won't be relevant".

It's fine to prefer the FCS playoffs to bowls (I sure do) but you have to weigh that against being in a conference with peer schools, better TV exposure (and being paid to be on TV) and getting a piece of the CFP pie that's only going to go up after it is expanded (with G5 teams getting in). There's just not any FCS natural home for southeastern teams like KSU and JSU and anyone who is honest with themselves knows if they were fans of one of these two schools knows they'd at least get the argument for moving on.

I wish that there was another subdivision with most of the G5 and a real post-season, but there isn't and probably never will be one.

HUNTSVILLE – Sam Houston football has played annually at NRG Stadium since 2010 and that will continue into the FBS and the 2023 season after the program announced a home-and-home series with Air Force on Thursday.

The 2-game series will be the first meetings ever between the Bearkats and Falcons and will begin September 9, 2023 at NRG Stadium. Sam Houston will return the game on September 13, 2025 when it travels to Colorado Springs for a game at Falcon Stadium on the United States Air Force Academy campus.

The Kats will be considered the home team for the game in Houston, similar to the alternating home/visitor format it has had with the Battle of the Piney Woods.

Air Force is a game that should be played on campus IMO. I don’t care that they’re playing it at NRG, it’s good exposure regardless and the game should draw a decent crowd. But in the long run, I’d prefer to only have P5 opponents in Houston. G5 teams should come to SHSU.

Stadium improvements better be in the works, and I’m not talking about terraces.

Thank you for making my point. I have seen more advertising for this game than i have for the Marker. This game is rotating right now on the ESPN Bottom Bar on national TV. I was having lunch with my father this week(old UGA alum who has a soft spot for Erk) and he noticed the game and made a comment about how he might catch a few plays to see how the new coach was doing in Statesboro.

The perfect example of how being FBS automatically puts you on the national radar. People see the scores, they get updates. Nobody knows we exist down here. Sure if the Bison beat Iowa St, ESPN will pat them on the head and tell them how special they are, but then they dump em and don't even mention them again until Frisco.

Didnt have to read any further. But I do agree with the statement.

[Reign of Terrier]

Anyone moving up from FCS with the intention of going to the CFP is missing the boat.

I have no delusions that Jax State will ever sniff a CFP appearance. Even JMU has next to no chance. Like you said even UCF and Cincinnati (which are both basically P5 programs anyway) had to both move mountains to even get into the conversation.

The way I see it, if Jacksonville State can come into the FBS, rekindle some old rivalries, start some new ones, and be competitive for the conference title and a nice bowl game against a middling SEC west team in the Birmingham Bowl. I can live with that.

One of the things I've realized over the past little while is that I just could not care less about our regular season slate.

The only regular season games I truly cared about were the games we had with you guys back when y'all had Huesman and they were spectacular fun to watch and be at. And the Kennesaw games that were the same thing even though we may have been on the other end of the stick. Those were about it. Nobody in our fanbase cares about a regular season game vs Murray State or Nicholls. For us, the regular season has largely just been a necessary step taken to get to the postseason where there were no stakes because we were blowing teams out be 40 every week.

I'd rather have games against Troy, Georgia Southern, and other regional rivals where the games get to matter and people recognize the schools we play for reasons other than "they're in our conference and we will beat them by 45 like every other year".

The OVC provided no challenge to us in the regular season.

The ASun only provided a challenge last year because of Grass and since then it's taken us giving the ball away 5 times to get a competitive game.

I want to be able to look forward to the regular season again and not just be sitting around watching blowouts all season waiting for our chance to maybe draw a good game in the playoffs.

Does that mean the ceiling now is a CUSA championship and a Birmingham Bowl Bid rather than a National Championship?

Yup. And that's fine by me personally as long as we come out and compete for it.

I have said this before, to the shagrin of some of the more annoying NDSU fans on here: if enjoying college football was predicated on one's ability to win a national title, the sport would fizzle out long ago. The overwhelming majority of programs who have fielded a team have not won a title in living memory, if at all.

What makes college football fun is the regional rivalries and the atmosphere of the games.

Sure, some of this is taking one's ball's home on some level. I won't dispute it. But, speaking as a fan of the conference that has had the most turnover in terms of champions and teams in the last decade, I have come to appreciate playing in the socon a lot more. Yeah, we aren't national title contenders yet/any more, but each game feels a lot more special than it did even a decade ago because of the competitiveness and rivalries that have developed as new teams came in, bad teams got better, and history played out.

Part of the reason I don't love the FCS as much as I used to is because the 24 team field, with all of the shortcomings it has, distracts and belittles this.

This makes your point?

A game only available on the same platform as many FCS Teams, played in a podunk town with a population smaller than KSU’s enrollment, in a stadium that has avg’d about 60% of capacity.

Adding on to this, when people think of App State from 2005-2007 what is the first thing that comes to mind? That’s right, the Michigan game in 2007. The fact that they went on to win their third straight FCS title that same year is an afterthought, or not even known by casual fans, but everyone knows about that blocked kick to upset the Wolverines.

Being an FCS powerhouse isn’t worth much in the eyes of the national media unless you upset an FBS team.

Nobody cares about Georgia State because they’re a middle of the road team. Even in the P5 you don’t hear much about the middle of the road teams unless they’re a national brand (Texas A&M and Nebraska for example) but nobody cares about South Carolina, Boston College, or Maryland outside of when they get matched up against someone like Georgia, Clemson, or Michigan.

The top G5 teams receive pretty good recognition, especially when they’re ranked and in contention for the NY6 bowl bid. UCF, Cincinnati, Memphis, Houston, Boise State, San Diego State, BYU have all become fairly well known programs. Even the lesser programs like Northern Illinois, Appalachian State, Marshall, and UTSA have all received good national recognition during their successful seasons. Far more than any FCS team save for maybe NDSU, and that’s because NDSU is an absolute exception, nobody will ever match what they’ve done in the FCS.

JMU, App State, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Coastal Carolina, and Liberty have all boosted their programs far more then they ever could’ve in the FCS.

I would hope the Gamecocks were a big deal in their own state. Just because Minnesota is popular here in our region doesn’t mean they’re relevant at the national level. Nobody outside of South Carolina cares about South Carolina, they always have and always will be Clemson’s little brother. They actually got some national buzz when Spurrier was there and getting them 10 win seasons, but now nobody cares about them. I’ve seen far more coverage for Cincinnati, UCF, Houston, and even App State this year compared to South Carolina. Because as I stated previously, nobody cares about them when they aren’t contenders.

This right here. All of these arguments about how *****t* it is to be FCS or CUSA is just circular and useless. All of us are irrelevant in some way or another if you aren't Alabama, Ohio State, or Georgia. It is just a waste of breathe. There are no winners in any of this...it is just about where your university feels like they are a good/better fit. I don't think there is a bad or good, because it is all the same. I'm glad KSU is joining CUSA. What I would like to see, personally, is the SHSU, JSU, and KSU come in and take over the conference. Keeler is basically trashing this football season by redshirting everybody that matters for our inaugural season in '23. We will be good next year. We will also bring strong baseball and golf programs. Basketball...not so much.

If you ain’t P5, you’re an other.

If we’re going to be an other we might as well do it at the highest level of college football.

This right here. All of these arguments about how *****t* it is to be FCS or CUSA is just circular and useless. All of us are irrelevant in some way or another if you aren't Alabama, Ohio State, or Georgia. It is just a waste of breathe.

Well if we could get Jim Case to retire, we'd be able to bring in a top notch baseball program. That'll have to wait.

But we can do Football, Shooty Hoops, and golf too.

Do it wherever/whatever you want. If it feels good to you, be happy.

Be happy as the other you are; just like every FCS Team though… still just another other.

Ya know. Kennesaw doesn't need a new stadium.

They need fans first. There absolutely no one at this game. They are definitely hot stuff in the Atlanta market.

[JSUSoutherner]

But i do think increased revenue, TV exposure, and investment in facilities will make KSU more relevant than it is today.

Not sure the bar could get much lower for Kennesaw after today. xlolx

Kennnnnesawwwwww what’s going on over there????

[BisonFan02]

Kennesaw will soon help us pad the FBS scalp stat.

Yeah at least I can sleep at night knowing that no matter how bad we are in the FBS, we won't go 0-12 with Kennesaw on the schedule. Good lord.

[HootyHoo]

Well let’s just be completely honest. It was an embarrassing performance today from the Owls.

After deep contemplation and meditation, I have decided it is time for Kennesaw State to move on from Coach Bohannon. With the new rules, the Triple Option is extinct. The transition year is a perfect opportunity to revamp the coaching staff and install new offensive and defensive systems. The Transfer Portal should also be relied upon heavily.

2-4 is unacceptable. 51-24 is unacceptable. It’s time to make a change.

[katss07]

I bet 51-24 IS unacceptable at Kennesaw State :D

[Green Cookie Monster]

What are you going to change to get more than 4,500 to a game?

[HootyHoo]

The offense for one. Football is supposed to be fun. Watching KSU has become a chore.

After deep contemplation and meditation,...

I'm biting my tongue so hard, it's bleedin'. xsmiley_wix

I'm sitting here watching Air Force take UNLV apart and the option offense they run seems fun. A lot of people say the same thing about Coastal's option offense. I really doubt that offensive scheme is the problem.
