B10 done scheduling FCS?
Apparently Iowa and UNI will never play again in FB if the B10 is done with FCS. Per... Brett McMurphy @McMurphyESPN Barry Alvarez says B1G will no longer schedule FCS opponents

Looks like Iowa/UNI contracted for 2014 and if true that will be the last ever meeting.

They'll still be playing big 10 teams for 9 or 10 games, so they shouldnt have to worry about their SOS getting too hard.

Re: B10 done scheduling FCS?
Have got to think UNI will be making the move up to FBS in the next few years, as they find it tougher to schedule programs currently in FBS to make some money to help fund the program.

Can UNI afford to make that move? That's 22 more scholarships they'd have to pay for. Not to mention the increased travel costs. And I don't see any mid major conference getting a huge TV contract.

They'd suddenly be a lot more marketable to FBS opponents (so could fetch a larger paycheck), as any team paying them to show up could now schedule an almost-FCS team in UNI and another FCS team.

Playing some bottom feeder MAC team isnt going to help there SOS much.
