What aggravates me is the fact that NCAA gave (then) IA an extra week and game with the understanding that IA/FBS teams would schedule a weaker opponent (I-AA). In short the entire reason the IA/FBS got this game was to play I-AA/FCS clubs and give us a chance to recover some expenses.
Now we have two power-conferences that say they will not do this. So why are teams from these conferences allowed to play the extra week/game? I would think that with a play-off that will undoubtedly increase in size, IA/FBS teams would not want this extra game, as the season is probably going to increase by 2-6 weeks very soon.
This being said, I am not (now, nor ever been) in favor of any team playing "up" or "down". YSU playing non-scholarship or partial-scholarship team is fine, as the NCAA classifies them as I-AA/FCS. We should never be playing IA/FBS, D-II, D-III, or NAIA teams.
