So the B1G will not play FCS teams anymore

They play enough in-conference

I do agree with this, but OTOH, I hate teams patting themselves on the back for having a tough schedule because their traffic cones are tougher than another team's traffic cones. It's not how crappy your rent-a-wins are, it's how good the top teams on your schedule are.

LSU has had a top ten schedule for the past five seasons and yes, it has included the occasional FCS team. It has also included a steady diet of top 25 teams from other conferences, and the toughest SEC schedule possible.

So this is just another impediment they put in their own way so that they get on their high horse and bitch about the SEC for something else?

It makes them feel better about not winning National Championships.

They high and mighty Big 10 that hasn't won a football championship since 2002 or basketball championship since 200?

So Indiana is going winless for the next decade?

I wish the SEC would do the same thing.

are they scared to lose to appy st again?

that's one way to keep them from losing to FCS teams.

That was my thought as well

I like this. I hope the SEC follows suit. Of course, I also hope that Major League Baseball institutes the SEC pitch clock, that the NBA goes back to 3 game series for the playoffs with only 8 teams, and that the NFL will stop pansyfying football with ridiculous rules that don't increase safety just to stem off potential lawsuits, but I don't rule the sporting world and I won't get what I want.
