Alright Jim O'Day, here's the plan
Forget the Bergquist/Selle quarterback race, the biggest debate surrounding the Griz football program is always whether or not we should jump to I-A and play with the big guys. At this point, it's pretty hard to figure out what this would take and just whether or not it would be a good thing. Well, Texas State University has laid out what we should do.
Texas State University-San Marcos President Denise M. Trauth said she will ask the President's Athletics Task Force to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study on moving the university's football program to the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) level of competition in the future.If a team that got beat by Northern Colorado can examine the possibility of going to I-A, why can't we? Seriously, these guys are willing to take the risk because they know the support they have right now may later fade. Griz football fading isn't completely impossible. If it did, don't you think we'd regret never even looking at the possibility of moving up?
"There appears to be a groundswell of enthusiasm surrounding our football program right now," University President Denise Trauth said in a news release Sunday. "If we can carry that momentum forward and build on it, then the feasibility of moving the program to the FBS competition is something we need to examine."
