FCS Championship Game today at 2!

I might be wrong but I think he’s making a larger point about where NCAA FBS football is going rather than where FCS is.

 

Back-2-Back

 

You're correct. It's very similar to music. I'm a fan of multiple genres but one great example is country. Until maybe the late 90s it actually had its own unique sound and brand. However execs and artists learned they could make way more money if they just made generic pop music that has slight country sounds and a singer who can fake a good southern twang. That's because they can use the fan base for songs that have a pop sound and are flashy with cool slang while also keeping at least some country fans. According to money Kenny Chesney is twice as good of a country singer as George Strait, for example. I don't think too many people who like country music would agree, whereas someone who listens to whatever is current probably would.

College football is trying to appeal to the larger group of people who care only about points and shiny looking offense as it is bigger than the fan base that likes actual football.

Another game they did this to is basketball. Look at the rules in the NBA. All geared towards lots of flash and points, as the average fan has no idea how to tell the difference between a charge or a block, they just like to see big numbers and manufactured excitement.

 

FCS plays by the same rules as FBS.
They also have NIL collectives.

The only difference is $$$ and quality of play.
