Well I guess if NDSU (or amyone) can prove they are being unfairly discriminated against, then I guess they have set a precedent. Was that the documented reason or just hearsay? Until that's established, the NCAA granted a school a waiver to move to FBS without a conference invite. We don’t know all of the reasons why the NCAA granted Liberty an exception, but it surely will lead to other FCS schools contemplating a similar waiver request. James Madison, Delaware, Eastern Kentucky, Jacksonville State, Sam Houston State and others have expressed varying degrees of interest in moving up.
JMU, the defending FCS national champion, almost certainly won’t opt for football independence. But that door is open to others if they want to walk through.
ODU athletic director Wood Selig said enough schools could move up to form a new 8-team football league.
“This has the potential to dramatically change the landscape,” he said.NCAA exception for Liberty was right call, but could have unintended consequences ( The Virginian-Pilot) Just what someone close to the program told me.
