[BlackFalkin]

Do we really have to be affiliated with those two...?

Nope, you RICHmond folks are just too good for us peons.

Speak for yourself. Ya peon!

The last three champions have been smaller schools with smaller fan bases. You forgot about Richmond in 2008.

Do we really have to be affiliated with those two...?

EWU - 11,500
Villanova - 9,500
Richmond - 4,300

Hmmm....

Glad to see someone posted the enrollment numbers. I think The Citadel and Wofford would disagree that EWU and Nova are "Little Guys."

Go Runnin' Bulldogs!

I was thinking more in terms of fan base and budget.

The last two FCS champs have been from smaller schools

At over 10,000 undergrads, is EWU considered smaller?

I personally would think of them as smaller I guess, in the context of comparing them to the big names like GSU, App, Montana, and UD. I consider SDSU smaller too and we have something like 12,000 undergrads or so.

I would say no, but I'm fairly knowledgeable about FCS. I think the perception of us being smaller time comes from the fact that we're in a state with two Pac-10 teams. Also, when you consider that even with over 10k undergrads, we're still one of the smaller schools in the conference. Sac and PSU are well over 20k and I think Weber might be around that number as well. I think the only school we are bigger than is UNC. So that might be a little part of the perception. Certainly, when you compare with some of the smaller East coast FCS schools there's no way we'd be considered "little guys".

FWIW, UD only has 15k.

Thats why I said big names
