The SEC will still schedule these cupcake games, just like every other conference. Who cares if these games are played early or late if they're still being played?
Apparently Mr. Sankey.
I hope for a day when all FCS teams are off the table. At least schedule people whose numbers match yours.
The only time a P4 team should be allowed to play an FCS school should be in a Spring game that is basically a scrimmage.
And paydays for the smaller schools - which has always been something to justify it.
I read the article, my question was a response to our illustrious SEC leader.
The SEC requires 10 P4 games, so the cupcake number stays at 2.
From 1933ish to 1975, the NFL champion would play a team made up of college all-stars to begin the following season.
A cupcake at home in even-numbered years when we played at Clemron, and a quality non-SEC opponent at a neutral site in odd-numbered years.
I have never liked that justification. If a school can't afford to field a football team without being the sacrificial lamb for a bigger program's homecoming or opening game, they should drop football.
It is not a "gesture". The payout is for the foretiture of having to play a home and home series. The bigger schools use a payout/payoff, to skip the away game for the smaller school.
During our independent years, we would schedule Dook and Wake regularly, almost always at home, with occasional forays to Winston Salem and Durham. Same idea. More income for each school.
And MLB teams play their AAA teams after spring training right before the season starts.
That is a perfect example of how P4 teams should play FCS teams, as an "exhibition" type game. Neither the NFL example (a game that benefitted charities played before the season started) or your MLB game were/are part of the regular season nor did they count toward a team's season record.
Actually, that SCSU game was a harbinger of things to come. Our offense only scored 17 points that game. That's the game where I started getting worried that our team was not going to be what it was made out to be in the pre-season.
We are known for not even being able to handle the cupcakes. The people on here that want all of the cupcakes gone must want to go to less bowl games than we already do.
That's the easy excuse. Our Offensive Line was getting whipped in that game. I was saying "Oh boy, we are in trouble" after that game.
The lower levels of G5 are not much different from FCS. Most of the teams in C-USA were FCS teams 2-3 years ago.
I hope you are right. If it goes to a 24 team playoff, college football will have become a total joke. Anyone who has ever said the number 24 team in the polls is the best team in the country is a total retard.
Oh, so you are going to just go full-blown crash-out now? Laughing and Shaking my head. If I did call you a racist, I know a guy like you would be itching to report it. I did call you uneducated which you just proved in your response. However, I could care less about your racial preferences. I am not looking for a job from you or trying to purchase property. So, I don't give a crap. .....and as you have said to me a couple of times. This is a message board. I will respond to who I want.
