I've got to believe with all the financial pressures on Higher Education there will be a major review of the finances of College Sports.
Marginal D1 schools will have plenty of issues to consider 2021 and beyond and continuing to pay a premium to have a marginal FBS football program will be one.
FCS is a logical step for Programs outside the Power 5.
I fully support the comment that most casual College fans have no idea what the differences are between FBS and FCS.
The question is what will the Alumni think/support. I have some experience with Higher Ed and you would be shocked to hear how much voice key Alumni have over issues like a shift from FBS to FCS!
I agree that more regionally focused Conferences could also help Universities cut cost and increase Student interest. Look at the student interest in our directional games vs even ranked FCS teams??? 4th? Where are you?
Changes are sure to come, COVID is expediting it.
