Stumbled upon this today.

ESPN.com still has the divisions listed as "FBS (Division I-A)" and "FCS (Division I-AA)". Whatever they decide to do, I hope it won't be as atrocious as the Big 10 "Leaders" and "Legends".
We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.

Re: Renaming the FCS...again?
Did anyone else notice the slight by Iamarino?
"The reality is, there's going to be a label used somewhere to differentiate between the Nebraskas of the world and the Woffords and Georgia Southerns of the world,"
Also, one must love his strategy, much like his management of the conference's situation, "I almost think we just ought to grit our teeth and work a little harder and make FCS work". When practically all other conferences are looking for ways to improve their label and brand, Iamarino does the same as POTUS, nothing.

I may be wrong, but I dont think anything was intentional. He was just naming two league schools. I'm happy he left us out. In fact, I'd be more offended if he had said Appalachian State (sorry, Appalachian States
-- how I hate when names are pluraled like that. It's lazy). I see a difference between the "Appalachian States of the world and the Woffords of the world.""Some people call me hillbilly. Some people call me mountain man. You can call me Appalachian. Appalachian's what I am."-- Del McCoury Band
