Interesting what my Colonels, SFA and Central Arkansas are doing.

It continues to puzzle me why FCS football even exists. The group of 5 and FCS should just be one thing together.

G5 does 85 scholarships to be FBS. FCS has anything from 63 to 0.

Money is the main issue.

It's the same reason that the power five & roup of five have separation. Funding and fan support

FCS is funded by P5 games and the Div I Men's Basketball Tournament. The proceeds from the playoff as far as I am aware go directly to the NCAA and they are cancelled for the fall.

Many FCS fund their athletic departments with the P5/G5 games.

With the EKU is playing 3 FBS games in the fall with a tale of around $1M.
