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".

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
