Mid-Major Persecution Files: Butler AD name I-AA ADA head

[henfan]

Congrats to Butler and John Parry. Parry will now head the conspiracy to keep mid-major conferences out of the I-AA tournament. Up until now, he's only been involved as a VP.

Conspiracy please, if the "mid-majors" are 1-AA than the Pope is a Muslim. Call a spade a spade, they're D-3 programs.

I'm shocked that someone on this board doesn't understand who awards playoff bids. Well, it isn't the athletic directors' association.

I don't know what he intends to accomplish in his new position, but I'm sure he'll work from the point of view that the Pioneer is a I-AA league.

if people went by bluehenbillk there would only be about 20 division I-AA teams. People from U Delware are dicks man, not just from this board but from experiences at the University as well. Its really pathetic that you try to make constantly put down schools and programs from your own classification to try to make yourself look better. Im just calling a spade a spade.

Well, certainly there is not a lot of I-AA love thrown the Mid-Majors way by many on the board.

Yeah, it almost makes me want to boycott following I-AA scholarship football, because of all the people who bash non-scholarship football on here for no reason...

You guys have a valid point. There is a condescending drift that passes throughout the board when mid-majors are discussed. We even get some of that, too, since we're somewhere between mid-major and full scholarship together with the admissions restrictions. Be that as it may, you just have to be proud of your programs for what they represent--what the original intent of college football was supposed to be--the students at one school playing the students of another school. Tis' not a perfect world, but it sure is better than the cesspool of I-A. Hang in here, and take part!

schools that keep football on campus at the D-I level

Please explain.

So you don't know what you mean either. :confused:

The MAAC has done a terrible job of saving football "on campus" or anywhere else. In case you weren't paying attention, you strange little man, MAAC programs have been slipping away.
