Strange how nobody even noticed he doesn't know the difference between FCS in FBS he called them the wrong conferences in his article.

Has any FBS school ever dropped to FCS???

Maybe not technically, but this is as close as you can get. The griz were a University Division team (top tier) from 1939-1962. From 1951 to 1961 they were members of the Major College Mountain States (AKA "Skyline") Division. In 1962 they became a Major College (top tier) Independent. In 1963 they DROPPED to the Small College Division and joined the Big Sky Conference. This morphed to Division II then the whole conference moved to Division 1AA in 1975. That then became the FCS.
I've always gotten a kick out of how the griz parade their all-time CAT-griz record out. Most of them don't realize in today's terms it would be FBS Montana playing NAIA Montana State from 1939-1962. In 1958 for instance, the griz schedule looked very much like a Mountain West Conference schedule today plus the Bobcats.

The BSC moved from D-II to I-AA in 1978, which was the year I-AA came into existence. MSU's 1976 NC was in D-II.

I thought that too, but upon reading it again, he was referencing a to-from situation, should UW move. Poorly worded, no doubt
