There is not a lot of difference between the number of bowls to the number of basketball 68 NCAA and 32 NIT slots. The big difference is DIV 1 is divided into subclasses, where basketball is not. Remember FCS has their play offs and basketball has really minor ones as CBI or CIT.

LOL there's a MASSIVE difference between the bowl system and the basketball tournament system. There's also about 350+ D1 schools in basketball.. it's far from everyone gets a trophy mentality. Come on Steve, you don't need to try to pull this crap anymore, you got what you wanted with the MAC move.

We can agree to disagree. FCS is still DIV 1.
Football Division 1 with 365 members and 31 conferences. (FBS with 138 schools, 10 conferences, and 2 independents.)
The FBS numbers are very similar to the Power conferences and high mid majors Big East, A10, MVC and WCC.

Then bringing in FCS is even more bizarre. FCS teams don’t go to bowl games, so what is their relevance in your rant about basketball and football postseasons? Please stop your scolding in my private messages, you are such a big baby. I’m one of the biggest supporters of FBS football on this board and have been since we made the move. I’m always going after the posters that shit on the upgrade. So please spare your whining for the people that hate FBS football, it ain’t me bud. I’ll say it again, let’s CRACK THE TOP 80 AND GO BOWLING. Fans like Steve81 sure don’t help the cause with how they act on here.

We agree to disagree. While FBS in football is similar as basketball mid majors with the power conferences, it is different. The other 200 basketball conference champions can dance and FCS Div 1 are different as those do not compete for Bowls or the CFP.

Quann did not scold you. My message was that I do not like you making fun of UMass Football for not being in the top 80. Myself not liking the haha not making the top 80 and bowl game attitude and putting UMass down. Would be as offensive as me going on to the basketball forum and posting that last 3 home game attendance.

Since you inaccurately interpreted my message will post it.

You scolded me dude. We haven’t been close to going to a bowl, that’s just the reality. I’m of fan of football and basketball equally (like majority on here) not sure why you have this idea in your head that there should be different factions for both sports. It’s weird.
