Eastern Kentucky University Athletics is expecting to announce what it calls "good news" in the coming months. That would be official word that the football Colonels are moving to the Football Bowl Subdivision. Instead of trying to play catch up in an existing FBS league, EKU Athletics Director Matt Roan said there are advantages to making a jump with schools like Central Arkansas, Austin Peay, North Alabama and five WAC teams.
“I think that’s one more reason we’re excited about this model is that we do it together and that will hopefully allow for where you are as an FCS member, hopefully, you can be equally as successful, if not more successful as an FBS member,” said Roan.
