Giving Love to the I-AA Playoffs

[TexasTerror]

"Most important, many of the perennial top teams in the I-AA football playoffs — Furman, Delaware, William & Mary, Lehigh, Richmond, Cal-Poly — have glowing graduation rates. The additional playoff games do not affect these teams' classroom performance. Indeed, player graduation rates of the top 10-to-15 I-AA football schools are significantly higher than similarly successful IA football colleges. This fact alone debunks the contention that a, say, 16-team playoff would hurt players' academic success. In terms of class time missed, time spent practicing and playing games, we are comparing apples and apples here."

Got to love that, eh? This comes from an article about what a I-A player could concievably write to the head of the BCS and/or NCAA about the structure right now of the BCS...

Thanks TT. This is a nice plug for I-AA on a dreary morning.
