B1G is ready to "Man Up" on Football scheduling - Kittonhead - 07-31-2015 10:51 PM Quote:Dropping FCS opponents — what Delany termed an “athletic directors agreement” among member institutions — might be a gradual process: Eight programs face FCS teams in 2016, for example, while others have future dates set up with members of the FCS. Iowa has a matchup scheduled with in-state FCS member Northern Iowa in 2018. RE: B1G is ready to "Man Up" on Football scheduling - Kittonhead - 07-31-2015 10:56 PM Its going to be interesting to see what the impact on lower tier bowls is going to be for the next 3-4 years. The B1G is moving to the following: A 9 game conference schedule. No FCS opponents. 1 game against P5 or ND/BYU Most likely at least 1 MAC game. The SOS will be up in the B1G while the winning percentage while be down. A lot of B1G universities would be lucky to beat a decent MAC football school.

I can understand why an Illinois fan would be concerned. Shortcut to a bowl is eliminated.

Lol.They've actively avoided scheduling NIU for that exact same reason, even after NIU alums put UofI on blast in the paper MVFC was MVC that was a FBS level back in the 1970s and early 1980s. I did not say FCS in that post. MVC was the likes of Tulsa, Cincinnati, Wichita State and many others that were in MVC at the time. Several of the teams in MVFC was a member of 1A at one time. Former MVC schools. Iowa Iowa State Kansas Missouri Nebraska Kansas State Oklahoma Tulsa Oklahoma State Wichita State Houston Cincinnati North Texas Louisville Memphis New Mexico State Southern Illinois Illinois State Indiana State The lineup for MVC for 1A football from the 1970's until MVC dropped football sponsership in the 1980s. Wichita State Houston Cincinnati North Texas State Louisville Washburn West Texas A&M Memphis New Mexico State Southern Illinois Indiana State Illinois State Some schools left to join another conference. Washburn and West Texas A&M got the shaft from the NCAA and were forced to go D2 with the rules. Wichita State dropped football. That left Indiana State, Southern Illinois and Illinois State with football, and became 1A Independents in the early 1980's. Then, they moved down to 1AA in mid-80s. It was in the 1970's early 1980s is when Illinois lost to a school in the Valley. With schools now in the P5 that was part of the MVC have beaten Illinois as well.
