I remember when there were only 95 in 1A, and I thought that was a lot.

I'm somewhat surprised North Dakota State didn't try it. Maybe that's primarily due to geography.

I’ve wondered that too. I think it’s because the MAC would be the closest FBS

Georgia Southern, Marshall, and App State seemed to have it mastered too.

Marshall's first 3 years in the FBS: 10-3, 12-1, 13-0. BYU should be familiar with the 13-0 season...

I wasn't knocking them. They left where they could regularly be champions.

That team was absolutely loaded. I remember watching their first 1A game.

30 additions in 40+ years? Seems reasonable to me.

US Population 1980- 223M, in 2024- 341M an increase of 53% so in theory 53 FBS

Do a lot of those schools really average 15k attendance in football?
