One, it's really hard to get quality non-conference games. People don't want to go on the road because everybody is trying to get seven home games. Two, I don't have anything against FCS, but they have a different number of scholarships for gosh's sakes. What is that about? They have 20 fewer scholarships. I know they're looking for a payday; I get that. Appalachian State beat Michigan. But I'm just saying for us, it's more about binding a conference together and it's about the difficulty of getting good non-conference opponents.
