One score that really stands out is their loss to JMU by 14-48. So, we re getting not just a I-AA team, but a bad one at that. The BE has certainly solidified the bottom of the conference. This year, UConn becomes that rarest of breeds, a I-A independent. Yeah, boy, they will sure need those 40,000 seats for them.
Big losses await.
I-A mountain will be a tough one. They are following a line of thinking currently popular in places like Birmingham and South Florida that says why lose by 30 when losing by 50 pays so much better. And after all, Temple needs a Homecoming opponent, too. But, they are an original BE member, and the deal was that anybody that upgraded to D 1-A football was in, and so they will be. We are not exactly in a position to gripe about that.
