The FCS Game

Big 10 commissioner Jim Delaney last week announced his league will eliminate football games against FCS (the former I-AA) opponents.

Is that a good thing?

Tony Barnhart writes about it here.

Ole Miss opens with an FCS foe, Tennessee-Martin, then has non-conference games against Fresno State and New Mexico State.

The schedule lacks a game against a Power Five non-SEC opponent, something that will be mandated by the league for 2016 and a requirement Ole Miss will meet with a neutral site game against Florida State. As neutral as it could be in Orlando.
