What do you think, CSers? Will the Northeast FCS seal for these HBCUs be broken at last?

The SWAC should be playing against FCS OPPONENTS what I really want to see is them regain their AQ STATUS and return to the FCS PLAYOFFS.

It just means they're eliminating NAIAs and Virginia Lynchburg from their schedule, right? That doesn't seem be a huge change.
