If they really say that, its complete BS. The roster files are only 1.5Mb. That figures about right for 120 teams with 70 players with a team, a position, a name, 43 attributes and all the aesthetic settings.

Its EA. They're lazy. That's why it'll never happen. Why else would their products have the same simple bugs in year on year? l.a.z.y.

Exactly. Using the FIFA comparison, how many stadiums does FIFA have? It's a lot less than NCAA, I can tell ya that much.

Space!

Yeah right. You don't make money by giving away free DLC. The problem with doing it as DLC, is the teams wouldn't be integrated into dynasty mode like that. There'd be no real way to include them in dynasty if not everyone playing dynasty will have access to these teams. Team Builder is EA's way to allow you to make FCS teams without including the entire FCS system into the game - having FCS teams available as DLC doesn't really do anything TeamBuilder does not already do.
