Around FCS: Milking A New Cash Cow

By David Coulson, FCS Executive Director

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Nearly every team in FCS loves the pay check that comes from playing an FBS opponent. They may not like the "L" that most often shows up in their ledger afterwards, but they like the resources that come from playing those so-called "money" games.

if he (coulson) wants to get TECHNICAL, Montana is only 14th nationally in "filling it to the brim". they just have a larger stadium.

94.92% of total capacity, whereas App State is over 150%. just saying.

Just giving the opening paragraph at least is cool so people know what they are going to get, or have a general idea. Here is the opening paragraph of the link above:

I like the part at the bottom...something Dave and I talked about last week. What a mess.


But such a game could have as big an impact on Alabama as it might on Georgia State's fragile psyche. With only two scholarship classes in place for Georgia State when the contest is played, the game will not count towards Alabama's bowl eligibility, unless NCAA rules are changed.

And such an encounter is likely to be devastating on the Crimson Tide's chances to reach a BCS bowl game, let alone that travesty the BCS calls a national championship game.
