This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Since 2010, ACC leads in number of FCS games. by G.K.Chesterton
From an April 2019 SI article previously mentioned here:
Within the Power 5, two conferences have made FCS opponents a regular feature of their schedules. According to STATS Inc., since 2010, the ACC has played 131 FCS opponents, the SEC 130. Meanwhile, Pac-12 teams have played 74 FCS teams, followed by the Big 12 with 69 and the Big Ten with 65. In 2014, the Big Ten tried to remove FCS games from its teams’ schedules, only to reverse course two years later when no other conferences followed suit and filling out a full slate proved difficult. The Big Ten still has the most restrictive rules pertaining to FCS scheduling, and commissioner Jim Delany’s experiment earlier this decade proves how tough it would be to completely remove those games from the ledger.
