Frankly, I think a school is better off staying in FCS than moving "up"
to G5. Look at ODU. I mean, sure they got a trip to the Bahamas Bowl a couple years ago and they of course have their victory over us that they'll savor for decades (then again, so does JMU). But you can't tell me that they're better off as a lower middle of the pack program in CUSA playing Southern Miss, Rice, FIU, FAU, etc than they were in the CAA where they were among the top programs and got to have local rivalries with W&M, JMU, etc (and it especially hurt them to lose those rivalries in basketball.... and guess what, noone there cares about Rice, MTSU, Marshall, etc).
