Talking to a school that already had a full schedule after someone backed out of a game with you does not constitute trying to schedule a game. Especially if backing out of the game could have cost the school money.

I've been told in the past that FBS schools CANNOT play at FCS schools according to the NCAA, but that rule has never been produced to back up that statement. Either way, the Sun Belt is basically a high level FCS conference, so don't act like this is LSU or Texas playing at McNeese.

I'll be honest, it doesn't really make sense for UL Lafayette to play at an FCS school. Nevertheless, they have definitely avoiding scheduling us. We aren't a cupcake win for them, and they truly don't have much to gain by playing us. They either beat the FCS school like they should or get embarrassed again.

At the time UL contacted McNeese the Nebraska game wasn't scheduled. McNeese wanted a $500k guarantee to play at UL. No FCS team is getting $500k to play at any G5 program.

I've never heard of an FBS school playing at an FCS school. I don't know if it's a rule, but it almost certainly never happens.
