Tarleton is the name of the people who funded the university, probably oil money. Rhode Island, Delaware, Towson, SUNY Albany and Stony Brook should all move up to FBS. The northeast is a college football wasteland for a reason.
There is no TV money for FCS, there are no bowls for FCS, FCS teams get 1/3 of the payday for playing P5 teams. FCS teams don't get any share of the national championship revenue, G5 and indy's do.
If you believe this website, UCONN could get... half a million dollars! And spend it all to go play garbage teams half a continent away no one cares about.

Conference USA
In 2018, the league announced a five-year deal with CBS Sports Network to serve as the primary rights holder. Stadium and Facebook also carry some of the league’s football and basketball games. Schools receive between $400,000 and $500,000 annually.
Here’s a look at all the current conference TV deals
While changes are coming, here are the conference TV deals for each of the 10 leagues, for Notre Dame and for the College Football Playoff.www.on3.com
Everyone smokes on Perry Mason and they're all cool and slim.
Just to add to the misery, their stadium is literally falling apart and needs tens of millions of dollars in renovations to remain operational.
I think it's the singular form of a Rutgers.
The biggest problem (as ND and BYU found out) with being independent is finding games for late in the season. ND's 5 ACC games are spread throughout, not just clustered at the beginning. Surprisingly UVa is playing BYU tomorrow, but plays ND on Nov 13 as part of the ACC scheduling arrangement. ND was very lucky to get Stanford to join in with their arrangement with USC.
This is actually... not terrible. I might even find a few of the games entertaining. They could probably convince an FCS team to upgrade and even out the schedule. Delaware maybe?
Kick out Liberty add Syracuse, Rutgers, Pitt, Penn State, West Virginia, Boston College, Maryland
Maybe. They could schedule UMass for Turkey Day weekend as the New England game of the year that no one cares about. Also, the weekend before they can be the tomato can for one of the SEC schools...the South of the Border prostitute that gets passed around every year. But, yeah, the late October/early November games are tough to find. Even FCS teams are getting ready for the playoffs and wouldn't want a game.
Isn't Tarleton a cigarette?
I grew up in Foxboro, Mass. When the NFL and AFL merged, the Patriots were essentially homeless, having been kicked out of Fenway Park the year prior. They played a season with rotating home games at BC, BU, Harvard (and even a "home" game in Birmingham, AL). The NFL told the team that if they didn't build a dedicated home field they'd kick them out of the league. After striking out in Boston, and most other area suburbs, the Pats built Schaefer Stadium in Foxboro for the princely sum of $6 million. That same year the Louisiana Superdome was built for $250 million. I loved the place, but Schaefer Stadium was a dump, with the charm of a dirty toilet.Just to add to the misery, their stadium is literally falling apart and needs tens of millions of dollars in renovations to remain operational.
Rentschler Field managers urge state to upgrade the stadium
(WFSB) – Rentschler Field managers are sending out an urgent warning, upgrade, or else. The now eighteen-year-old building is starting to show signs of age. Officials are making the casewww.wfsb.com
There will be a lot of case studies in business schools on this football program.
oh please, like U Conn would settle for those stiffs. They already have a double secret handshake agreement with Saban to be the coach and AD for the next 10 years
Not good enough it's Saban or bust.

No. He was a British cavalry officer during the American Revolution whose nemesis was Francis Marion, the Swamp Fox. Why someone would name a school in Texas after him is a mystery to me.

That doesn’t really seem legal. I assume these schools/conferences have clauses that they must give notice, and probably have exit fees. Unless the departure date is before the playoff, I would think they have to be included.
