Amazes me to this day how people still call Division I-AA/FCS "Division II".
Division I-A/FBS teams are not allowed to play Division II teams. Towson is Division I-AA/FCS. Division II is a lower division than Division I-AA. Division I-A allows 85 scholarship players, Division I-AA allows 63, Division II allows just 36. Division III allows 0.

I stand corrected. Towson is Div1-AA. I appreciate the explanation regarding the scholarship limitations-was unaware of the specific numbers.

Ehh, amazing? It's the next tier below us. It seems a perfectly understandable, if technically incorrect designation.
It's also inexcusable from a scheduling standpoint. Any excuse given, is nothing but a cop out.
