This has been whispered about for a few days, but I’m assured WVU will play host to once and future FCS power Youngstown State in 2016. There was a tale being told that the contract is for 2016 and 2018, but that’s not true. Not yet at least. WVU is probably going to fill spaces in 2018 and before and beyond with FCS schools and Youngstown State may indeed get the call in 2018.

That’s unusual, for sure, and that’s going to furrow some brows, I’m sure, but I really wonder why anyone should be that upset. No one’s clamoring to see FCS schools so I don’t see why people would be upset if the roster of FCS opponents lacks variety. Mad that there’s a FCS team on the schedule? Go right ahead. Mad that it’s the same one, say, twice in three seasons? Misplaced anger, I say. FCS schools are asking for more and more money now, but the Penguins are relatively close and probably wouldn’t need as much to make the trip, which could then lower the amount they demand.
