UT should schedule a game with South Alabama.
Why? That does nothing for us.

So what did past foes VMI, Murray St, Norfolk State, and on this season's scheduled foe LIU bring to the table ?
Those were placeholders for holes in the schedule. I don’t believe MOB seeks out FCS schools as primary OOC opponents, nor should UT ever. These teams love to get a payday and play up in competition, so they’re easier to schedule on short notice in a pinch. I’m sure there are exceptions. FCS neither challenges UT enough to be a useful matchup nor does it aid in public perception when we blast them. There’s little to no upside unless we schedule some of the top teams for competitiveness and even then it’s not our best option from a long term PoV.
Brady Quinn was reportedly upset that the Golden Domers just scheduled their first FSC OOC game! Wow, I guess we scared the hell out of them and they dont want to risk a loss to a G5 schools.

Not at all. They scheduled an HBCU, which I think all happen to be FSC or lower. I've stated on these boards for years, I wish Toledo would have scheduled an HBCU. They bring a team better than the ones scheduled and traditions that will entertain and unite.
People are going to look at it from personal slant. Some will say virtual signaling. Others long over due. Head coach is Eddie George so this wasn't a long social step, both coaches Ohio St alums.
