Earlier this week, respected Pac-12 columnist Jon Wilner of the San Jose Mercury News wrote an article discussing Southern Cal’s decision to schedule their first FCS opponent, UC Davis, in 2021 while suggesting that UCLA should start doing so.
Of course, in doing that, the Southern Cal Trojans have left the UCLA Bruins and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish as the only FBS schools to never have scheduled a game against an FCS school.
That’s clearly been a source of pride for UCLA and Bruin fans.
But, Wilner makes a convincing argument for the change.
