After the Idaho football team finished the season 9-4 with a bowl-game win, the outrage over Idaho’s move to the Football Champion Subdivision (FCS) began anew.
Some fans even started a petition to keep Idaho at the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) level, to be delivered to Idaho Governor Butch Otter, UI President Chuck Staben and the State Board of Education. I’m all for the people’s right to demand redress from their government, but I don’t think this is what the founding fathers had in mind when they created the Constitution.
This FCS/FBS change is a hard thing to understand and I don’t mean to sound condescending — it really is a difficult problem with a million moving parts.
