The former Division II Troy St. Trojans, now a Division I team known as Troy, just pounded Rice in the New Orleans Bowl in front of an ESPN2 national audience. Their second bowl game in three years and first bowl victory.
They have clawed their way through the transition to Div. I by playing big name schools on the road to bring in big $$$. From what I hear they now have great facilities and this year they were Sun Belt co-champs.
This makes me wonder, had UNA made this move years ago would it have gone this well?
Does Troy's success open the door for UNA and new discussions about going to Div. I?
