Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - The NCAA won't be changing its Football Championship Subdivision moniker.
Just don't call it the Football Championship Subdivision.
It's FCS.
"Nobody called the BCS the Bowl Championship Series, it was the BCS," said Patty Viverito, commissioner of both the Missouri Valley Football Conference and the Pioneer Football League. "So we're FCS."
It's been a troubled year for the FCS, with power programs (Appalachian State and Georgia Southern) announcing their departure to the Football Bowl Subdivision - OK, FBS - and a power conference (the Big Ten of the FBS) announcing it will end games against, and guaranteed paydays for, FCS programs after the 2015 season. Plus, the nation's seemingly endless realignment remains a sore spot as conferences hold their breath.
