Nova has actually been very, very successful in FBS. They won it all in 2009.

They play in the Colonial Athletic Association, which is a decent FBS conference.

Georgetown also has a team, and they are awful. They play in the Patriot League.

Butler plays in the Pioneer League, and I know nothing about them.

Nova is FCS. FBS=football bowl subdivision. FCS=football championship subdivision (aka, the division that has had a tournament for years).

Syracuse 27 Villanova 26 in 2OT.

Villanova missed an easy field goal to win the game at end of regulation.  Game was on ESPN3.

I'd like to see Marquette with a FCS team.  That would be great.

Cue the naysayers and unleash the hounds . . .

Pioneer league is a non scholarship Division 1 league.  It is very much akin to playing high level D3 football.   Dayton is another example of a pioneer league team.
UW-Whitewater would probably beat Butler by 3 TD's

Butler and Georgetown. (Georgetown was on ESPNU two years ago in a prime time game with Princeton.)

Let's resume that plan to hold the old Big East together based primarily around upgrading Villanova to FBS.

I forgot about that. I think Nova actually turned down the offer. They probably could see the writing on the wall....

As for MU having an FCS team, I would not be against it, but the only way I ever see it happening would be for a specific donation earmarked for that. It would obviously have to be a huge amount, and need to include a stadium and continuous funding...it would basically have to be a football endowment, because there's no way it would be able to pay for itself through ticket/media revenue.

The romantic in me thinks it would be very cool to see MU on a football helmet again, but the pragmatist in me says it is probably a bad idea. I also think it would get more snarky comments from Badger fans than not having a football team at all. And I'm sure they would want to schedule a NC game with us (there are a bunch of FBS vs. FCS games in the first week or two of the season) and completely destroy us, so I'm not a huge fan of that either.

It would be fun to extend the Nova, Georgetown and Butler rivalries from the hardwood to the football field.
