The NCAA should really reorganize the 3 different levels. Keep DIII as it is today - generally small schools that do not offer athletic scholarships. DI should be the P5/FBS programs along with the G5 and a small number of other top-tier conferences like the Big East. Basically the big money schools. As the current DII model is failing, move the remaining DI programs, such as FCS football and similar schools like the Ivy down to a new DII. It's already moing in this direction as there are very few DII programs left.

The Ivy League should stay D-1 though. There should only be about 200-225 D-1 schools.

There are 315 D2 schools.

There are 315 D2 schools.

315, of which most compete in the States and more than 1/2 have gridiron football programs. Bonus points of no value for the name and location of the non-US D2 school; no online searching allowed. Hint: great mascot, but relatively less known university to many Yanks.

University of BC? *

Simon Fraser University (in British Columbia). I'll gladly accept my 0 points now, thank you.

It’s in British Columbia

I’m gonna guess Simon Fraser U

 

[Pudge]

Ok. Kooky idea guy

Why not Play the Canadian top college football team. Laval U. (Universite d’ Laval - I think)

Play a real international bowl. Ok. Sorry. I’m just not driven by excitement to have Middle Tennessee or Louisiana Monroe on the schedule. Define our Football as transient. I believe we have options in 2023 or so. Until then. MSG Hoop and the most interesting FB.
