We are going to start this season on a positive note. That includes this Saturday, when Purdue hosts Eastern Kentucky for the final game ever against the FCS level. The Big Ten is phasing these games out, with a nine game conference schedule and encouraging every team to play at least one non-conference game against a Power 5 opponent. They are allowing teams to honor previously made agreements for games against FCS opponents, but this is the final year of widespread games against the lower division. Saturday marks Purdue’s lost contract with an FCS team, and it is likely a holdover as part of the deal when Purdue hired Danny Hope from the Colonels.
