I completely agree on FCS title meaning nothing to ESPN. They spent as much time showing AT&T Stadium promoting last nights game as they did convering this game.
We need to be realistic, FCS football is not a big deal. Even some of our home games had less than 2000 fans. I watched the YSU game at Illinois State, maybe 3 thousand. Also for YSU, Ohio State doesn't help. Now that they are defending national champs, they will be even more popular. I know some here get mad when Ohio State is mentioned, but to the casual fan, watching Ohio State on TV is more appealing than watching YSU play teams they know nothing about.
I looked at ND State and Illinois State's roster, they are both young, especially at the skilled positions. To be a real contender next year, and not just sneak into the playoffs, we need some 1-A transfers. Also, South Dakota State is very young, they do lose the great back in Zenner.
