The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel has approved three new rules recommended by the Football Rules Committee last month, including keeping the clock running after first downs except for the last two minutes of each half; no consecutive timeouts by a team; and penalties at the end of the first and third quarters carrying over to the next quarter, eliminating untimed downs in those instances. www.ncaa.org/news/2023/4/21/media-center-football-timing-rules-approved-for-divisions-i-ii.aspx

The DI Council has proposed changes to FBS membership requirements. If adopted, all FBS schools would be required to provide 90% of the total number of allowable scholarships over a two-year rolling period across at least 16 sports, including football. Schools also would be required to offer at least 210 scholarships each year, amounting to no less than $6M. The council also introduced new legislation that would increase the fee to transition from FCS to FBS from $5K to $5M. Additionally, the council approved two membership requirements focused on health and safety. The first will require all DI schools to establish policies and procedures to empower athletics health care administrators with authority to oversee a school's athletics health care. The second mandates that all DI schools attest at least once every four years that they are completing a comprehensive review of the school's support services for mental and physical health, safety and athletics performance.

Gone with the proposed changes would be the current 15k attendance (and necessary stadium size) requirements.
So, if you can write a check and spend more per year (basically make a financial commitment), you can now bypass any attendance issues. This helps about 20-25 current and future schools that weren’t gonna make that cutoff.

Tarleton may be different but I don't it. This Makes the UAC more viable actually...

Tarleton may be different but I don't it. This Makes the UAC more viable actually... EKU might be able to do it as well, since they've been looking to go FBS for years now. But yeah, overall I think it could be a good thing. I really want to see FCS stabilize. Would I like to be where Troy and now JSU are (more so Troy)? Sure, but the time to begin working on that was the 90s. I just don't think trying to do too much, too fast is a good long-term strategy for us. I'd rather have a chance to win FCS playoff games than be literally struggling to survive in FBS. I really wish/hope that the schools in the UAC commit to making this the best conference in FCS.

If adopted, I don't see m/any of the UAC teams being able to do this any time soon. Which, as y'all have said, would stabilize the conference. It would hopefully make some of the GSC teams figure out that they need to jump to D1/FCS/ASUN now and get off the sinking D2/GSC/SR2 ship they're on.
