Major news out of San Marcos where Denise Trauth, the President of Texas State - San Marcos has announced a presidential task force will look into a move to FBS football...
Apparently, said task force has been in place since February 2007 (though covering all bases - football moving to FBS is a new task)` and we do have word from the President that the June 1, 2007 date which many fans want an announcement by is too short a time frame.

Texas State Task Force to Examine Move to FBS for Football
SAN MARCOS - Texas State University-San Marcos President Denise M. Trauth said she will ask the President's Athletics Task Force to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study on moving the university's football program to the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) level of competition in the future.
"There appears to be a groundswell of enthusiasm surrounding our football program right now. If we can carry that momentum forward and build on it, then the feasibility of moving the program to the FBS competition is something we need to examine," said Trauth.
The President's Athletics Task Force was appointed in February, 2007, and works with Trauth, Texas State Director of Athletics Larry Teis, Provost Perry Moore and University Advancement Vice President Becky Prince. It is charged with assisting the Texas State Department of Athletics in reviewing and revising its strategic plan and charting a course for fundraising for Athletics.
