...starts this weekend. I was thinking that the spring schedule would result in a little more TV coverage for them, but it doesn't appear to be the case. I guess basketball will be dominating during their games. I actually wouldn't mind going to a KSU game, but with only 20% capacity being sold, it looks like the only seats available are some premium $90 table tickets.

What’s to stop a school like tech from playing an FCS team this spring? Not saying they should.

So, one game is a higher risk of injury than 4 weeks of spring and several weeks of preseason practice?

This is the first time there's been a good reason to pay for an ESPN Plus subscription. Still not enough, but it is a reason.

edit: Watching Wofford beat down Mercer right now. Mercer's QB just got decleated.

The broadcast quality is trash (the Wofford-Mercer game is an ESPN broadcast with ESPN graphics but there's no down and distance on the scoreboard) and the talent level is clearly not spectacular, but I am glad to have spring football this year. Wofford has been dominant all day, up 31-14 with 2 to go in the 4th, but the game has been fun despite not being close. I think I am gonna follow Wofford's games and keep tabs on the SoCon this spring.

I think it's gonna be awesome. Like the XFL except without the cheesiness aspect.
I almost wish this could be a regular thing now, but the FCS schools would lose a fortune with no money games and the FBS factories likely would pitch a fit over losing their cupcakes. Georgia would probably fall apart if they could no longer schedule Clarke Middle School the weekend before Thanksgiving.

Mercer’s defense wasn’t bad, but offense needs a lot of work. New coach in his first year. Hopefully the bears will turn it around. I’ll be watching this spring, probably even go to a game if I can get in.
