What would it take to turn A-State into FCS I-AA?

It could be used as a feeder program for the UA. They could take in state kids who need development and kids with troubled pasts or possibly non-qualifiers.

We could level the playing field against Bama, Auburn, etc. with those Miss Community Colleges.

They won't do it. A-State worked hard to move up to FBS. They haven't set the world on fire over at Jonesboro but it would take an utter catastrophe for them to step back to FCS level.

I think we are more likely to see UCA move up to FBS Sunbelt level then we are for A-State to move down to FCS.

Won't happen Idaho is the only one to ever do it voluntarily and that's because their program stinks. Arkansas State is BY FAR the most popular team in the Sun Belt for TV numbers LINK
It's more likely that they move to even better conference than ever going down to FCS.

Arkansas State has had so much success in the sunbelt, there is no way they would give up that potential bowl money and accessibility.

FCS programs are not feeder programs. You are thinking of JUCO. The only in state JUCO we have is Arkansas Baptist in Little Rock.
