Praise for FCS from ESPN...

Post by Col Hogan »

I know...hard to believe, and while this is basically an anti-BSC piece, the FCS playoff system is used as the example to follow...

He could have cut the last line, though... :roll:

I e-mailed him back thanking him for the press for the FCS and hoped it would only get better.

It was more about the need for a playoff in the FBS than it was about the FCS. At least, that is the way it struck me.

It is...but any positive info on ESPN is better than none...

I agree with him that Carroll raising any question to the system is bad for the league...that man has a lot of influence, and he never has problems being #1 or #2, and still doesn't, so when he complains, something is wrong.

Nice article
