RE: A little help to make the FCS look better!
I agree with the current rule -- and I'd only agree to change it slightly:
a) If you play two P5 teams, and 1 or 0 FCS teams -- with an attendance averaging 15k+ -- no limitations apply
b) If you win your conference -- no limitations apply
c) If you get to 9+ wins against FBS teams, including a P5 team -- no limitations apply
I think you guys should be OK. You played two P5 teams and you didn't play more than 1 FCS team, right? I think before the "imported" teams would play like 2-3 FCS OOC games, that's why. Plus, they probably fear an "amount of fans" issue and want you to build up a fan-base somewhat (to Go to bowls).
In a sense, it's like you're an interim FBS team. I don't think it should be absolute, though. But I think they're understandably weary about making "rules" about it, because they'll just bicker and complain about not meeting the rules in the end -- so it's "You have to be interim for a couple years before you can reap the benefits".
