IM: I’m glad to hear our fans are impatient because I’m a fairly impatient person if you ask my wife. That is not my gifting. If you look at FBS independent, there’s Notre Dame and there’s BYU, UMass has done that, and certainly the academies have done that in previous years. That’s an avenue that certainly is a possibility.

I've heard Jr and McCaw took Emmert on a tour of the campus. I'll just leave this portion of a N&A interview here. I think they're going to the top of the food chain and taking FBS Independent seriously.

They know they'll never get an invite due to their policies and the baggage Jerry and some of the academic programs it brings. It's the only option if they want to keep running the school the way theyre currently running it now.

Then you have G5 schools looking to fill home games and you can sign home and home contracts there.Your thinking is completely opposite of current trends. It's expensive for NMSU to go anywhere let alone Lynchburg so I'm not sure they are a shoe in. Home and Homes aren't magically going to appear especially during the Conference schedules. Bowl Games are bleeding money and if the National Championship goes to 6 or 8 teams Bowls will become more irrelevant and start to fold
Bowl games is where there might be aN issue. Granted more bowl games will likely be added in the future but majority of them have tie ins already. I know too many bowl games already but anywhere they can look to add money. So Not impossible to get bowl bids going 7-5 or 6-6 independent.
