You can now refer to UNI as "flagship"

I don't know if any one else mentioned this but FCS only relates to football. For all other sports it doesn't mean squat

You're right....UNI has proven they can compete at the highest level in many sports, regardless of the size of school they are playing.OL FU wrote:Oh. Like I said. Doesn't mean squatclenz wrote: The FCS comparison is brought up because it lumps the universities into "mostly like" schools.

Re: UNI is the premier FCS athletic program
"Premier" should be associated with occasionally being the best. Since this is an FCS football forum, can you remind us how many FCS football NCs UNI has? Zero? Maybe that question was too demanding. Can you remind us how many FCS football NC games UNI has been in? One? You have a different definition for "Premier" than I.clenz wrote:You're right....UNI has proven they can compete at the highest level in many sports, regardless of the size of school they are playing.OL FU wrote:

BCS only relates to football too, but people (internet, media, and otherwise) constantly use it when discussing other sports..OL FU wrote:I don't know if any one else mentioned this but FCS only relates to football. For all other sports it doesn't mean squat
while technically both terms are solely related to football, they often serve as a handy qualifier for d-I althletic programs in general. Since at the majority of d-I schools, football is what brings in the lions share of the revenue (and conversely, usually requires the greatest amount of expenditures), so it makes for a rough gauge of the size of athletic budgets. Of course, there are outliers and exceptions to the general trends, but that's going to be the case no matter what you use to catagorize.
