Wow - I wish we [could afford to be] a part of it........I truly think ODU will be on that poll in a few years.
 
Note that there are about 124 FCS teams-so to be in the top 50 means you are in the top 40% not all of which offer the full load of schloarships..ie Pioneer League, Ivy League ...maybe others (knocks at least 16 teams out of the mix). If you look at the bottom 60% the AD budgets are nowhere near the level of CAA teams

College Football: Should CAA Replace MAC In Divsion I FBS?

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/4666 ... sion-i-fbs


ollege football has exciting and interesting games almost every single week, and these past two were no different. There were two in particular that stand out in my mind. Both involve Division I FCS schools, and they both involve the Colonial Athletic Association.

Last Saturday, James Madison University of the CAA took down Division I FBS No. 13 Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. Today UMass, also of the CAA, traveled to Michigan Stadium and gave No. 20 Michigan a real football game, eventually losing 42-37. UMass led for much of the first half, and came extremely close to pulling off an Appalachian State-esque upset.

With the CAA making waves, there have been whispers of the conference moving into the FBS and replacing the lowly Mid-American Conference (MAC). What do we make of this? What should happen? More importantly, what will happen?
