Future FBS Independent Schools
Due to the Western Athletic Conference discontinuing sponsorship of football after the 2012-13 season, New Mexico State University Aggies and the University of Idaho Vandals will become FBS independents beginning in the 2013-14 season.
Old Dominion University Monarchs are transitioning from the Football Championship Subdivision to the Football Bowl Subdivision, and will be an FBS independent for one season (2014-15) before joining Conference USA in 2015. During the 2014-15 season, Old Dominion University will not be eligible to go to a post-season bowl.

Famous quotes containing the words future, independent and/or schools:
“The American West is just arriving at the threshold of its greatness and growth. Where the West of yesterday is glamorized in our fiction, the future of the American West now is both fabulous and factual.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“It is so rare to meet with a man outdoors who cherishes a worthy thought in his mind, which is independent of the labor of his hands. Behind every man’s busy-ness there should be a level of undisturbed serenity and industry, as within the reef encircling a coral isle there is always an expanse of still water, where the depositions are going on which will finally raise it above the surface.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Our good schools today are much better than the best schools of yesterday. When I was your age and a pupil in school, our teachers were our enemies.
Can any thing ... be more painful to a friendly mind, than a necessity of communicating disagreeable intelligence? Indeed it is sometimes difficult to determine, whether the relator or the receiver of evil tidings is most to be pitied.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
