The 12th game was an obviously beneficial thing for all involved. It was a no-brainer to push that through.

The conferences that could have stood to lose teams were the MAC and Sun Belt, primarily. Maybe SJSU in the WAC (if they don't go ahead and drop football themselves). The rest of the conferences wouldn't have really been concerned about losing their own.

A 12th game might not be so benificial to the fans, and especially since I-AA schools count towards bowl games.

Now Nebraska season ticket holders will have to fork over another $65 for a home game vs I-AA Maine.

Nebraska at home: 2004: Western Illinois 2003: Troy, Utah State (neither is I-AA, but both from the SunBelt, and that entire confrence SHOULD be) 2002: Troy, Utah State, McNeese State 2001: Troy, Rice So, it may just signal a turn back to the good ol' days for Cornholer fans.

I'd like them to REQUIRE all conferences to either have, or don't have a conference championship game.

No, I completely agree with you about the I-AA games not counting toward bowl eligibility, but Nebraska has ALWAYS scheduled teams that could barely give Iowa School for the Blind a game. And that game's always at home, because Big Red ain't gonna risk rolling into Logan, UT at 5,000+ feet above sea level and possibly getting upset. Ask Mizzou about going on the road for one of those games.
All I was saying is, there's not a WHOLE lot of difference between teams like Maine and McNeese State, or the really lower teams in I-A like Utah State, etc. If somebody want's to play a patsy to boost thier W-L, they can find them in I-A. Hell, a lot of teams do that early in the year.
