This week is a busy one for Delaware. The Blue Hens are in the midst of preparations for their second-round playoff matchup with Montana on Saturday night. That seemed like it would be the biggest thing going on around the program but on Monday morning some national news broke that has the school looking ahead to even bigger things. In 2025 Delaware will be heading to the FBS and joining Conference USA.
The move is one that will leave another crater in the FCS landscape but is certainly one that should benefit the Hens. Delaware has been a blue blood in the subdivision for quite some time and their absence will leave a pocket on the east coast akin to that of what James Madison left behind two years ago.
