Stumbled upon this today.

ESPN.com still has the divisions listed as "FBS (Division I-A)" and "FCS (Division I-AA)". Whatever they decide to do, I hope it won't be as atrocious as the Big 10 "Leaders" and "Legends".

Did anyone else notice the slight by Iamarino?
"The reality is, there's going to be a label used somewhere to differentiate between the Nebraskas of the world and the Woffords and Georgia Southerns of the world,"
Also, one must love his strategy, much like his management of the conference's situation, "I almost think we just ought to grit our teeth and work a little harder and make FCS work". When practically all other conferences are looking for ways to improve their label and brand, Iamarino does the same as POTUS, nothing.

I may be wrong, but I dont think anything was intentional. He was just naming two league schools. I'm happy he left us out. In fact, I'd be more offended if he had said Appalachian State (sorry, Appalachian States

-- how I hate when names are pluraled like that. It's lazy). I see a difference between the "Appalachian States of the world and the Woffords of the world."
