Jim Delany didn't say anything about not scheduling former FCS programs.
In a bit of potentially shrewd scheduling, Rutgers has added a season-opening home game against Texas State to its 2018 slate, NJ Advance Media has confirmed.
Delany, the Big Ten commissioner, has instructed teams to stop scheduling FCS (formerly Division I-AA) teams as soon as possible. Rutgers faces Howard this season and Morgan State in 2017 before coming into compliance.
But Rutgers wasn't about to give up the one sure game per season where it is a heavy favorite without getting creative.
