Those are glorified high school TEAMS a lot of these so-called D1 programs are fielding, ergo the schedule comment.
I stand by what I said for the large part.
The expansion of D1 has watered it down to the point of being almost a meaningless designation. A reset of the system -- which I've said for quite a number of years now -- is overdue. Let the de facto pro teams pay their players, treat them like the marketing department employees they are, put the rest back under student-athlete rules, put them in a division of their own.
