FCS is a hot mess
FCS is the most disjointed division in college football. There’s little or no uniformity. Some conferences offer scholarships, others don’t. Some participate in the playoffs, others don’t. Some regularly play OOC games against FCS peers, others rarely venture outside of their own conference.

Not only do this disconnectedness make make rankings a challenge, it it diminishes the overall quality of playoffs, which regularly match non scholarship and scholarship opponents in the first round and leaves out what arguably might be better teams from non participating conferences.

If there is one thing I’ve noticed about this board it’s that there is no shortage of experts with answers for needed reforms in college athletics. So, ok, football experts, what should be done to strengthen FCS?

My one thought is to incentivize schools from conferences that don’t participate in the playoffs to at least regularly schedule OOC games against FCS schools from participating conferences. I’m looking at you Ivy and SWAC.

The Ivy regularly schedules Patriot and Pioneer League teams. From time to time, they might even schedule a CAA team. They play Colgate, Bucknell or another Patriot or two every year, and either a Pioneer League or CAA team. It would be nice to see the Ivy League to add an eleventh game but the Ivy will march by its own drummer.
