Fresno State to be considered a Power Five program by Big Ten

Most of the Power Five conferences have put in a clause requiring their schools to not play FCS teams any more and also to schedule one team from another Power Five conference.

There have been a few exceptions such as the independents being included, mainly because of BYU, but other schools have been sprinkled in and most notably that is the Big Ten who has four schools that are in a Group of Five conference.

That league has now decided to add Fresno State, according to the Star Tribune. The Bulldogs join a group that includes Air Force, Cincinnati, Navy and UConn from the Group of Five and also independent schools Notre Dame, BYU and Army.
