Basically every transitioning team has one year of no playoffs in FCS and one year of no bowls in FCS. The trigger is announcing your intent to move before or after July 1 (maybe it's June 1?). Since we did it before that date, our "no playoffs" year is this year, and we'd become full FBS members in 2015.
Had we waited until after that date (or not received an invite until after that), we would have been in the playoffs and not been full FBS members until 2016.
I thought that to become FBS eligible, a team had to up their current number of scholarships to about 70 or 75. And by doing so, I thought it was that fact (too many schollies) that made Southern ineligible for the FCS playoffs.
