Here's the thing about the plucky, upstart schools clambering up the ladder of college football's highest echelon: Their time has come. That is, it's time to peel back their fingers and let them fall.
The nation's poorer programs need to drop down because they drain money from their schools, keep bigger programs from reforming rules and often limp along academically—all while having no real shot at winning it all.
Enough Already With the Little Guy in College Football

Great article
Agree completely with all his points. I am tired of hearing about the little sister of the poor and more than that their defenders. For the most part these schools suck academically because the good academic schools either are already AQ level or D2 or below. Sure we all laugh at WVU academics but its MIT compared to Boise St. Maybe instead of worrying about sports they should raise their academics a tad bit create a rich booster class they can afford good sports.
