From CBS sports:
"The NCAA will hold a summit Aug. 4-5 to strategize about the future of Division I. Members of the board of directors and various committees will participate and are studying four areas: (1) The Division I amateur model, including key features of athletes' experience and the use of athletic resources; (2) How college sports should assist students, including academic achievement and appropriate time demands; (3) How college sports should help students prepare for life after college, including those who want to pursue professional careers and the Olympics; (4)
How Division I should operate, including examining the current subdivision structure and the role of conferences."

Could the weaker G5 conferences (MAC, Sun Belt) be assigned to a subdivision that the MVFC is in?
It seems that such realignment could benefit YSU and the MVFC, as the MVFC has outgrown the FCS level. Also, YSU has suffered the FCS playoff committee long enough. Hopefully, these changes will lead to renewal of the regional rivalries with Akron, who is completely in over their head in the G5.
Almost any outcome from the August meetings will be a positive change for the YSU FB program.
