You dont think we need a commissioner and a set of rules to make things even? Were the only sport in America that doesnt have the same set of rules for everybody that plays.On Friday, ACC athletic directors will discuss altering the leagues scheduling model. The conference currently plays eight conference games, and beginning in 2017, all ACC teams will be required to play a nonconference Power 5 opponent. Athletic directors could change to a nine-game conference schedule or increase the number of nonconference Power 5 opponents to two, labeled the eight-and-two model.Florida State plays Florida annually at the end of the regular season and routinely schedules a Power 5 school early in the year. Fisher said he is not in favor of a nine-game conference schedule, but he ultimately wants every Power 5 conference to have a standard scheduling model.The Big Ten, Big 12 and Pac-12 all play nine conference games. The SEC plays eight conference games and a mandatory nonleague Power 5 team, similar to the ACC. The Big 12 brings its conference championship game back in 2017.Everybody goes to their own neighborhood and makes their own little rules. Im for uniform everything across the board no matter what it is:: eight-and-two, nine-and-one, 38-and-38, Fisher said.dddddddddddd Why cant we uniformly play the same number of games, play the same conference championship, play the same number of Power 5s?... Its called common sense.Fisher was also adamant about the necessity for Power 5 leagues to continue scheduling FCS opponents. He said the elimination of scheduling FCS programs will have a trickle-down effect on budgets that will ultimately lead to high school players giving up football.The Big Ten prohibits members from playing an FCS school, a rule that went into effect this season. No other league has that mandate.Ill make a statement and if people dont like it, fans [dont like it]: If you dont play an FCS ... how do they make their budget? By playing a big school. Hows the Division IIs make their budget? Playing an FCS, Fisher said. When you start taking these budgets away, where are all the high school football players going to go? Why are they going to play football when all these teams drop football? Youre killing the sport for ego.Fisher played at Division II Salem College before transferring to Division III Samford, where he was named Division III player of the year. Salem no longer plays football, and Samford has since moved up to FCS.Its not about playing FCS; its about the game of football and filtering it all the way down so theres scholarships in Division II.
