I don't think a regular yes is the answer, I'm thinking about hiring Little John to go scream YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH in the CEO of EA's face.
I started a thread about this last off season with a ton of anticipation for the game. In the end, I was disappointed.
Two years ago, I went out and bought a PS3, and pre-ordered the game. I counted down the days, but in the end I was disappointed then too.
EA has yet to have any information out there that will let me know that I will not be let down again.
Just like you stated in your article, there are a ton of students at FCS universities that would be much more inclined to buy the game if their school was included. Why would they not want to try to penetrate that market?
In previous versions of the game, standard small stadiums were used for all FCS schools, along with generic backgrounds. If the only year to year maintenance that was necessary is dealing with uniforms and player ratings, why was this dropped?
If their arguement is that they wanted to enhance the reality of the game to only included authentic stadiums, there are tons of historical FCS fields that would be great to add to the game.
Is there any chance that the create a school feature would return?
Just off the top of my head:D
EA got it right when they first added FCS teams back on the original PlayStation, giving each school its real home stadium and treating them as part of the game, with the teams even recruiting against the I-A squads in dynasty. The Heritage Bowl was even included.
They should have built from there as technology improved, but instead chose to treat FCS as an afterthought while adding useless side features like mascot games.
Also, it's stupid that they gave a generic stadium to even Tennessee State, whose regular home of Nashville's LP Field is already included in the games as host of the Music City Bowl
Just an FYI...you'll be able to create FCS teams using the new Teambuilder feature in NCAA 10. For more information, see the link below:

From what I've found out so far, EA is going to pre-load a lot of the FCS logos. So, you should be able to create just about any team.
