DI-FCS may not have enough participating teams to justify keeping it alive. At least more DI-FCS schools have started questioning whether they want to continue sponsor DI football or even remain in DI athletics after the House settlement. Some schools have chosen to drop down to a lower NCAA division level. While schools like St. Francis (NY) chose to discontinue their entire athletic department. To my knowledge St. Francis (NY) has become the second DI school to make that decision with NE Illinois deciding to do it in either the '90s or early '00s. Going forward we may see more schools opt to go that route for various reasons. Also, I wouldn't expect there are too many DII and/or DIII schools itching to make the jump up to DI now because of the sudden increase in participation cost.
