Problem is this drop back to FCS doesn't work either. Big money loser. Been proven...look at FCS #'s.. Indy D1 might not be sustainable...but they are a public university with an NFL HC and staff who will sell the NFL opportunity hard...if they can win 5 or 6 per season...that's not bad...fans who mention the lack of bowl game tie ins? If they win 6, they will get a bowl. Plus, bowl games are meaningless anyway...glorified exhibition games for ESPN...they are a barometer more for a program that is at least functioning vs one that is dysfunctional...6 wins being the dividing point.

Say you get to a bowl anyway. Every draftable player on both teams skip the game. I still remember how upset all the bowls were when Christian McCaffrey opted out of the Sun Bowl several years ago...McCaffrey was even attacked by national media and bowl committee types... he wanted to train for NFL Draft. Why? They knew this was beginning of end to old bowl model. They were right. This opened floodgates. All draft types leave...understandably. It's their career.

I think Mora a very good hire by U Conn...I like fact he can sell the NFL, that matters. Will it work? I don't know..I know it is 1000% better than Edsall...but FCS model doesn't work.
