I agree. This is always made out to be so much worse than it really is

I don't think anyone but old-school USC fans care, at all. The "no FCS games!" folks care a little bit, because they don't want anyone to play FCS, but nobody is dogging USC for doing what pretty much every FBS program does.

Those Southern Cal fans don't like it, you are correct:

RE: USC schedules its first FCS opponent
I care because every time I try to argue that my own team, Iowa, should not play any FCS teams and should play 11 P5 schools each year, I use USC as one example of a school that actually does it. USC schedules the way I would like my own school to make a schedule.

Strangely, I never have used UCLA or Notre Dame as examples. Probably because I usually choose schools that schedule 11 P5 schools as examples. So usually I use USC, Stanford, Texas, and lately Purdue and Northwestern as examples of how I would like to make a schedule.
