The Gophers aren't the first team to blow out an FCS team, nor will they be the last.



If you read SM posts on the subject, you'd swear Minnesota was the only program scheduling overmatched FCS opponents regularly.

I honestly don't recall even 1 post insuating that "only" Minnesota does this nor anything close to that sentiment.

I lament that it happens at all. For any program.
 


Gotta think it would be tough for these FCS programs to stay alive financially if they didn’t have these games.
True.

But it's not even remotely incumbent on FBS football programs to prop FCS teams up with such paycheck games.

Ditto for basketball.
 


I like the,way it is now. I would do one FCS team, one group of five, and one power 4. If you want to solve the FBS teams blowing out FCS schools, then dont allow anyone to schedule FCS opponents. I'd be fine with that too. But as long as its allowed and counts toward bowl eligibility, then the goohs should do one FCS team per year.

While assisting in the minimum quota for Bowl eligibility, scheduling an FCS team does Jack Squat for FBS Playoff consideration.

They don't say it explicitly. The tone of the rhetoric is clear that they don't understand why these types of games are played.
