Wouldn't mind Kennesaw State. Not that far a trip for the away fans, They are a pretty good FCS team that we should still get a 3-4 TD win over.

Let Jax State do Jax State... They won't play us without a home and home... And that's against Sun Belt rules, I personally want to see Jax State stay beneath us, cause that really irks them...
Read their message board some time, they hate that Troy is big time and they're not.

I would like to Whup Jax St one more time though

They don't have the $$$, conference invite and their Administration doesn't want to go FBS.

The state of AL couldn’t support 6 FBS programs, it’s already hard landing talented recruits and with USA and UAB getting new stadiums it will only get harder...

The power 5 schools should be in a seperate division. Have the non power 5 schools have an FCS style 16 team playoff and our own title game.

I personally do not want to see this happen. The mid-tier Power 5 teams are behind TROY at this point. If this happens it will be a step back for not only TROY but also all other non-Power 5 institutions. Just my 2 cents.

They don't have the $$$, conference invite and their Administration doesn't want to go FBS. Totally agree. The gap between most G5 and FCS programs is just too big nowadays. For instance: In the past two decades we managed to build some FBS history and added new state-of-the-art-facilities, our HC now makes $800k/year, etc but we are trying hard keeping up with all the other G5 programs. I don't see many FCS programs coming in and catching up with us within a few years. Liberty now with all that money maybe. James Madison should consider moving up though, they have the facilities, coaches and fanbase...

ODU? Old Dominion for the who did not read this am's sports page. Gave our coaches info on a kid from my hometown Steven Peoples. Starting fullback for Va Tech now. Steven began as a walk on because he had no FBS offers, even though he had over 3000 yards rushing and 44 TD's his senior year at tiny Galax , Va HS. Steven had 156 yards and 2 TD's vs ODU in the loss.

I like rotating AL State, FAMU for a game and would hope for a home and home with Southern Miss every year along with a money game.

Let S Jax tate do Jax State... They won't play us without a home and home... And that's against Sun Belt rules, ............Didn't Coastal go to Campbell? Campbell is an FCS school. Must not be much of a rule
