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

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.

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...

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.
