A Sea Of Red

For the love of all things holy, you would think that ESPN would know that it is FBS & FCS, not D-1A & D-1AA. Mother of pearl.

They know it. They just don't want to buy into the vernacular that the NCAA is pushing.

they kind of have to, don't they? Its NCAA sports, & if the NCAA wants to call it slytherin & gryffindor, that's what you have to follow. You might not like it, but that's what it is.

I think they're afraid the reader might not know what that is.

YES!
I-AA LIVES FOREVER!!!!

I call I-AA as Gryffindor, since we have the noble playoff system and not the evil dark arts of the BCS

And now in all seriousness, assimilated resistance is futile. ESPN, the rest of the media world, FR and his fellow members of the Flamefans guerillas will succumb to the new monikers at some point.

wow i say that, its not often actually see someone else use that line....

You also don't see a lot of Harry Potter references in a recruiting thread.

Especially with its evil witch incantations. The whole series of books should be I am mortified that some of our young champions have read such stuff.

while I would be horrified to learn that my good buddy may have been exposed to the dark arts of the Tower of Rawlings, i would have to agree with his assessment of the evil dark arts of the BCS... NCAA = RICO? yes i think so...

FCS is the best.

Although Yale's course is its first Harry Potter-themed offering, other universities, including Georgetown University, Liberty University, Pepperdine University, Stanford University, Lawrence University, Swarthmore and Kansas State University, also have integrated the series into their curricula.

Yep, it was integrated into a Children's Lit Course...however, we also have courses that teach the Theology of Tolkien and the Theology of C.S. Lewis.
