They will thus remain FCS virgins along with Notre Dame and UCLA.

On January 17, 2020, USCFootball.com reported that USC was actively trying to replace Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) program UC Davis on its 2021 football schedule with a Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) opponent. We have now received confirmation from USC athletic director Mike Bohn that UC Davis has been informed that the game is canceled.

Bohn joined hosts Ryan Abraham and Keely Eure on the Peristyle Podcast and broke the news that the game has been canceled. When Eure asked about the possibility of canceling the game, here is what Bohn had to say:

"Well, I'm happy to tell you that we have informed UC Davis that we intended to cancel that game," Bohn said. "We are in the final stages of formalizing an agreement with another FBS opponent to replace UC Davis, and I have to give our donors and fans a lot of the credit. When I arrived, I committed to listening and learning; and the feedback from our fans was clear. Preserving our history is critically important to us and to our fans, so we worked to make that happen."

Does this news bump ND back up in to the favorite position

to be the next team to leave the “never played an FCS team” club? I have no confidence in JS, and I have a feeling that the scheduling of an FCS opponent will be framed as the only alternative to joining a conference full time. Sheep fans will lap it up as evidence that a conference is the only way to.... what, exactly?

I'm very confident ND will never play an FCS team. *

You have a lot of confidence in leaders who have shown

very little concern over things considered traditional, historical, or important to many alumni and fans.

A small price to pay to try and preserve...

one of the few small shreds of dignity they have left.

Southern Cal is a cesspool trapped inside a toxic waste dump.

wrapped in an enema. *

"Preserving our history is critically important to us and to

our fans, so we worked to make that happen."

I wonder if he confirmed whether the Pride of Troy will continue to wear those douche bag sunglasses and play the same two songs they always play. What a bunch of phonies.
