ODU not moving up to FBS any time soon.

Post by ODUalum11 »

Not with these quotes by Head Coach Bobby Wilder...
"When I say establish ourselves, I mean have a winning program in this league. However many years that takes us we're going to get established. Then we're going to address the potential of playing a BCS game each year, and then we're going to address the potential to move up to the BCS level.

"If we do join, it would have to be one of the BCS conferences. We've already established we're not looking to join a conference that doesn't get a BCS bid. It doesn't make any sense for us."

I remember some folks on AGS saying that the FCS was just a "pit stop" for ODU. When you have the fan support and season ticket sales that ODU does, there's no reason to make a mad dash to the FBS.

BTW, I give it a couple of years before we hear something similar from G State. :coffee:

We are still in the honeymoon phase with this being the first year as a CAA member. I'm sure there will be a drop in attendance down the road if we remain FCS. "No more hummers". :ohno:
