Basically, unless you're a non-scholarship PFL team....a D3 mascaraing as a D1....and aren't in a 7 square mile radius of the Ivy footprint they won't play you. Period. Even for scholarship teams they pretty much only play Nova, UNH or Towson occasionally - though with the PL going scholarship they are now scholarship opponents.
It's been covered many times here, but it's done intentionally. It insulates them from the rest of the FCS. Allows them to maintain they are every bit as good - better - than others in the FCS without having to actually prove it.
