I have culled through Wikipedia and assembled a list of all DII universities with over 10K enrollment. Certainly a university can move up to I-AAA or FCS with a smaller enrollment, but 10K is a pretty good minimum number if you have eventual FBS dreams or really want to have a better chance of success above the DII level. Anyway, I culled the list to fuel dream conference discussions. Where do you want to see these schools? The MAC? The Summitt? The Great West? The WAC? FCS? IAAA? FBS? Project a little into the future if you like...2020? 2030? Really just consider this a dream conference thread where the only criteria is that you have to use at least one of the DII schools off this list.


Will one of these schools be the next FAU?
