Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- The FBS will welcome another new team come 2025 with Missouri State surprising many when they announced last week that they would be joining the Conference USA. The Bears have not found a ton of historic success at the FCS level but will look to take advantage of Missouri NIL laws to help them build up into a potential group of 5 playoff contenders. This is the story of Missouri State Football. The FBS’s newest member.

First rebuild in CFB 26 w them will go crazy
Everything has really changed here so much since the Bobby Petrino. Our records don’t even show how competitive this team has become. The last couple years we’ve been hit by injuries. But we have nearly beaten 2 power five ranked teams and the FCS champs. Not to mention the FCS conference we played in was the SEC equivalent at the level.
Did you play here ?! Not trolling honest question from a long time FCS fan
No, just been watching the team for some time as Springfield resident.
No disrespect, but it took Appalachian State a lot of wins and upsets to ever get an invite. MO State has had a few good seasons in decades not many and 0 upsets. I get NIL being a motivator. But they cant fill a stadium now. What makes them think they can beat much better schools with more money for the players they need ?
Missouri’s advantageous NIL laws could turn Mo State into an overnight success. Brilliant move.
The black and maroon Mo State jerseys are tuff
I don’t want any other FCS schools to make the jump. The FCS is great and the FBS jump often ends up losing rivalries
Football programs aren't going to fund themselves.
The United Athletic Conference is planning to all jump up together in the future. This creator actually did a video on it before. 10 conferences at the FBS level again is needed pretty bad. Also, teams jumping up is good as the money is needed, but we need to have teams jumping back down too if they continue to be unsuccessful.
@@limitlessmdrtwhat teams would you suggest move down to FCS ? UMass ? Vanderbilt ? Not trolling just curious as a longtime FCS fan
@@Panthersigma yeah UMass, UConn even. FIU, Temple. Schools like that. Schools with no success since moving up. Vandy and Northwestern is a nice idea but them being intial members of their conferences kinda keeps them safe in the end
@@limitlessmdrt I feel Vandy should move down but Northwestern I think will surprise some folks over the next several years
FCS football is super entertaining, don’t know why all these teams want to move up go 5-7 and play in a shit bowl. That’s all these programs can hope for.
FCS is so much fun , I’ve been to a lot of SoCon games all over the south and prefer that to 100k people
More Money is the simple reason
money, nfl looks, recruits,
Money. The FCS is literally making teams broke even if they’re good. Also FCS to FBS teams have all had success. App St, James Madison, Liberty being the most successful
Would love for you to do a video on Eastern Kentucky. I know you did one on the UAC last year, but EKU is a team on the rise as of late and with our best coach in history Roy Kidd passing away during this past season, timing would be perfect for a video on their rise fall and rise again
I'd love to see some ASUN rep on here
I'll root for my alma mater all day long. I'm so excited about the move
when is the last time this Missouri team won the Missouri Valley conference?? I can see NDSU or SDSU moving up but this is silly
2020-2021
@@keatoncymbaluk5631it was shared with two other teams and during the Covid season, nothing about that is a true title
Because it's about money. What's more lucrative a missouri state team or a team in the barron wastelands of the Dakotas?
Just like mizzou got invited to the sec with tamu before Texas or Oklahoma did.
Amd by the way smsu or misosuri state is gonna get butt fucked hard
As an SMS alum, I fully agree.
@gregb6469 thank you. It's always smsu not missouri state
So is SMS going to Conference USA in basketball also?
I don't mean to be Debby Downer here but I'm a Missouri State alumni and our football program...sucks. We couldn't win in the Missouri Valley Football Conference so I'm not holding out much hope of winning in C-USA.
Conference USA is weaker than the MVC. They will be ok
Kind of hard the win a league title when you have those two Dakota schools in it.
Honestly you have a better chance at winning C-USA than the Missouri Valley. Going from having to play NDSU, SDSU, UNI to playing only decent team (Liberty).
While they might struggle initially I’ll think they will be just fine , moving to FBS will allow them to level up at every level
@dawilliam59 uh no. They'll be able to maybe one day be a mid major in football. But see there's thus team or program in their state called mizzou and said school is pumping money into mizzou football. If anything with nil and colleges now paying players legally. Mizzou will use missouri state as a minor lesgue feeder program. They recruit and develop a player who ends up being good, next year he'll be at mizzou or another P5 program
Why are we seeing a team that has historically underperformed move to D1... But a team who always plays above their level SDSU still have not made the move
Money
I think Mo St will be in the upper half of C-USA. They'll compete hard with Delaware to see which of those two can do better at this level, and it will be interesting to see them link up with former MVFC members in WKU and MTSU. I like this move by the conference. I think Mo St will actually stay in C-USA for the foreseeable future, I hope that C-USA sees the wisdom of adding MVFC programs in football only sometimes, and I like the direction this is going. I do know that Northern Iowa has wanted to make the jump for quite some time, and they are probably the next program that comes into C-USA. It helps the conference have a presence in the center of the country, and if all goes well, the best pieces of the MVFC (aka the SEC if the FCS) will find their way into C-USA. Again, sometimes with a football only move. That's what helped make the MVFC so good, and C-USA should copy that model to a large extent.
Further down the road, I do believe NDSU and SDSU make their way into C-USA. I think they make the jump, and it will be a lot of fun to follow that.
I would like to see Valdosta State make the jump from D2 to FCS....like their rivals West Georgia.
I'm really hoping that the University of Tennessee Chattanooga hasn't missed out on the opportunity to move up but if they did it was probably for the best I do not know if they are good enough financially to survive the move
UTC alumni here, it is hard to compete for high level recruits. With UTK, JSU, KSU, GSU in a 2 hour drive. Even then it would be tough to be a struggling FBS team in SEC Country. The fan support is not there for the Mocs. Chattanooga FC draws better crowds if I remember correctly. Also the chicken processing plant right near the stadium makes it tough to enjoy a game. They never should have torn Chamberlain Field on campus.
I would like to see North Dakota State, South Dakota State, or Youngstown State in the FBS.
NDSU will never go up, or at least not soon cause they’ve ran FCS forever and if they don’t go up SDSU probably won’t either. Youngstown state would be very cool tho
@@ryanmaurer7759 YSU keep it somewhat close with OSU, would love to see how they do in the MAC or something
I say 160 teams should be the maximum amount of FBS teams.
Please do the rise of the college of Idaho football or basketball please
I think it was Saturday shenanigans who makes videos like this and he did Idaho.
The football stadium is TINY... They'll have to upgrade sometime. It only holds 17,337
As someone who has been there, unless they triple the amount of people that show up to games then they won't have to worry about needing a bigger stadium lol
Should have been Tarleton, you should make a video on them
They just moved up to fcs lol
@@db4life87 exactly perfect topic, and already in talks of moving fbs
Traditionally the program has stunk.
I think northern Iowa and Richmond Universities to add in 2025 because Richmond University wants to leave the colonial athletic conference
Both are solid FCS programs wouldn’t surprise me to see either or both make the move up
Go Bears!
Who could forget Walter Langston??
The only team I care about seeing one day play FBS would be North Dakota State… but I have a strange feeling they’re content in the FCS lmao. If anything I want Alaska and Vermont to both get FCS teams so every state can say they have a football program (University of Vermont is only club football… dense as fuck)
Montana and Montana State
I remember all the push back for the name change from SMSU to Missouri State... mostly Mizzou people who were afraid of losing a little clout in the state... boohoo... always gonna be haters.
They have been horrible in FCS they are gonna get killed in the FBS
You could argue the MVFC is a tougher conference than CUSA.
@@tysenhathcock1136 --So competition-wise this is a lateral move for SMS?
@@gregb6469 the top and middle of CUSA seems similar to the MVFC. I think the difference is at the bottom of each conference. The worst teams of the MVFC are far worse than the worst teams in CUSA.
Dude do you do any actual research? They’re a doormat in the MVFC and they have no prayer to compete with South Dakota State or North Dakota State. There’s going to be no rivalry with Missouri. This is a vanity move. Conference USA’s TV revenue is terrible and the NCAA imposed a 5 million dollar fee to move up to FBS.
Love college football content so I wish you the best , but your tone of voice hurts my ears
James Madison, Jacksonville, Sam Houston , Missouri state, Kennesaw State, Delaware, Liberty.
NDSU, SDSU, Montana, Montana State soon?
I think Tarleton State is next
