They're testing us. They're trying to see how far sports fans men will go. If we want it to stop, the only thing we can do is not reward them by paying for it.

Today, GA Southern beat App State in the Birmingham Bowl in front of 12,000 fans.
GSU finishes its season 7-6.  App State 5-8. 

GA Southern, the 6x FCS national champions.
Appalachian State, the 3x FCS national champions.
All 9 in our lifetimes.

These schools have chosen to work their way up, into the G5 level of FBS, for additional monies, surely, and possibly a 50-year long plan of a goal of something greater.

It's not for the fans.  It's not for the players.
These two teams could very easily be playing for another FCS national championship to a full house, vying to be the best team in the country in their division today, but no.  No packed house.  No one on the edge of their seat.  No potential NC rings or trophy.  Just another anonymous bowl by .500 teams.

I'm not going to fault the schools, but their actions go against the interest and excitement of the fans and are not in the best interest of the players on the field.
