Houston has taken a pretty big step for both the AAC and G5 with this decision. I know there were several people who felt that the G5 schools would have to schedule FCS schools. I wonder if other schools in the AAC will follow the Cougar's path.

It’s been a long time coming, but the Houston Cougars have finally decided to stop playing FCS schools when it comes to football. The Cougars are vowing to play at least two power conference teams a season to go along with two non-power conference teams to go along with the school’s eight-game conference schedule.

“We've heard loud and clear (from the fan base) they don't want us to play FCS schools,” Yurachek said.
