If Wichita State adds FBS football, it would cost in the neighborhood of $50 million to build the program from scratch, several industry sources told CBS Sports. A renovation of Cessna Stadium, the old football facility would cost at least $20 million alone.

Going to cost at least twice, if not three times that amount to re-start football here if we have dreams of the MWC. Cessna can't be renovated. It's a pile of crap.
The MWC/AAC schools spend about $10M-$15M per annum on their FB programs, so I'm curious how you've come to the $100M conclusion. Are we building a U of Houston level of stadium and then buying a 737?

I'm with you about the AAC or Big East...but certainly absolutely take the first bidder. If that winds up being the MWC...then run to it!!!The mountains are calling, and I must go.
