What's this?

One reason schools may not want to switch to the FCS subdivision

is because football would lose 22 scholarships (85 in FBS and 63 in FCS). Also, it could mean the school would have to take all/part of the 22 scholarships to start a new men's program in order to be Title IX compliant. I don't think the school would have take any scholarships away from the women's program unless there is a department policy that requires the school to maintain the same percentage as if it still participated in the FBS subdivision.

I'm all for anything that moves us closer to a Conf champ only playoff -- Vienna_Hokie 12/29/2016 3:04PM

The separation has begun. ** -- chuckd4vt 12/29/2016 10:08AM

If the P5s and G5s separate, then I wonder if that also brings an end -- VTHokie2000 12/29/2016 12:55PM

I can see it if the P5 breaks away. ** -- EDGEMAN 12/29/2016 10:04AM

I could see it even if not even with just of lower G5s. -- Truthahn 12/30/2016 5:48PM
