Not sure if I should be impressed, but there it is:

"The nonconference schedule in our league is ridiculous," Alvarez said on WIBA-AM in Madison, Wis. "It's not very appealing ..."

Glad they finally noticed.

"So we've made an agreement that our future games will all be Division I schools. It will not be FCS schools."

So, who breaks the news to Rutgers? Seriously. I still see many B1G teams scheduling lower level BCS teams to replace the FCS teams, so little net change. I guess we have to credit them for putting window dressing on their SOS issues, though.

(This is from a conference perspective, not a specific team.)
 
I assume RU will just keep playing Army and Navy every season.
