Welcome to the FCS Football Talk podcast.
On this episode, Sam sits down with Stephen F. Austin Director of Athletics Ryan Ivey. He is the co-chair of a working group made up of administrators from the FCS and Division I-AAA (D1 schools that don’t sponsor football) to help “redefine and actualize their distinctive role and value within Division I athletics and to chart a path for the future.”
Sam and Ryan discuss:
- the goal of this working group
- how mid-majors want to fit into the changing D1 landscape
- what a player-employee model in D1 sports would mean for mid-majors
- the importance of access to championships for mid-majors
- restructuring of D1 football
- the future of the FCS
- the future of the United Athletic Conference
- plus more topics
You can also find the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, and Spreaker.
