The Ohio Valley Conference and the Southland Conference submitted legislation to be voted on to allow for 12 game regular season starting in 2017. About dang time!

I know. With the joke we have to put up with called the "playoffs" I can't wait to see what happens.

I've always felt that this would be a good idea. Of course, a deep playoff run may put a lot of stress on the players by going through a 16-17 game season, but it should be a good thing overall. It would be great to start a week earlier than FBS and have an all-FCS week. The other thing that a 12-game regular season would do is fix the scheduling problems for MSU. We would have 4 games instead of 3, which means there could be an FCS road game available every year. Home-and-home series would be much easier to get, and we may not have to worry about the D-2 game anymore. I like this idea.

I say 12 reg. season games and cut the playoffs to 16... and sell the rights to anyone but ESPN.

They could also look at moving the playoffs back a week for a little more rest from the regular season. Playing on Thanksgiving weekend means poor attendance and not to mention players don't get time with their families over the holiday.
