Normally. I would 100% agree with you, but times have changed. The

players sued the NCAA, and now will share in the revenue. That makes them professional, and not "student athletes". It seems that they had no issues with the playoff format which adds games at the end of the season. It's no longer an exhibition bowl game, it's a playoff format to earn more money - that they are supposed to get a % of. Which is it? Are they students, or money making professionals? Let the FCS worry about their football student athletes, as they are playing for scholarships and the love of the game. Today, in top FBS football, they play for money.
