Mavric Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 That part really isn't news - although it got some run today. But I thought this was pretty interesting: Quote Link to comment

Redux Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Seriously, no coach was in favor of the non FCS rule? I actually find that surprising. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 Seriously, no coach was in favor of the non FCS rule? I actually find that surprising. According to the tweet, the vote was against the 9 conference games, not the FCS games. Quote Link to comment

According to the tweet, the vote was against the 9 conference games, not the FCS games. This. And I don't agree with Delaney. B1G teams don't need to play 9 B1G games and a power 5 team to get into the playoffs. That's just his excuse. It will make for more exciting games and more money, but it's not a necessity.

Landlord Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 This is really going to hurt FCS schools financially if this trend keeps going, pushing them to move up to FBS, which is just the first domino to eventual reclassification of a new division for P5 teams, imo. Quote Link to comment
NU5XChamps Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I don't understand why everyone is wanting to block out the FCS team. If I recall, they have beat a few Power 5 schools recently. The biggest being Michigan. I think once we get to 16 team conferences then the FCS thing will go away. As for 9 conference games, how will that work out with the schedule. Will be have protected cross-over games again? Quote Link to comment

Why should we change when the SEC will keep at 8? Why put ourselves at a disadvantage. Hell they all play 2 or 3 cupcakes. Quote Link to comment

ScottyIce Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 We've been planning on 9 game schedules for quite some time, fyi. Check the '16 schedule, it's had 9 conf games for a long time. Quote Link to comment
