Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Eight months might have passed when the Big South Conference gathered for its annual football media event on the final day of July, but the coaches of this fledgling Football Championship Subdivision league were still bristling about how its 2008 champion, Liberty had been left out of the playoffs.
“There is no way that Liberty should have been left out of the playoffs,” said Gardner-Webb’s Steve Patton, the dean of Big South coaches, who echoed the sentiment of almost. “Everyone said that Elon was in with a win and Liberty goes and dominates them and gets left out. How can you tell me that was fair?”

Rebels' Scheduling Mess Fixed By NAU
Boone glad nightmare is over, says lessons learned with help avoid a repeat in the future.
OXFORD — Now that the great football scheduling debacle of 2009 is over, Ole Miss athletic director Pete Boone spent Wednesday afternoon explaining why it happened - and also how he plans to make sure it never happens again.
UM officials announced late Tuesday night that Northern Arizona, a Big Sky Conference school that plays in the lower Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA), will come to Oxford on Nov. 7 as the Rebels’ 12th football opponent this fall. The deal ended months of speculation and deals gone awry. For Ole Miss, it’s not an ideal outcome for two reasons.

BOILING SPRINGS - In the time since Gardner-Webb University moved to NCAA Division I-AA in football, now called the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), Runnin’ Bulldog fans have had to get used to playing non-conference opponents they’ve heard little about.
That’s certainly the situation Saturday when GWU (2-1) plays host to Sam Houston State in a 6 p.m. contest Spangler Stadium’s Norman Harris Field.
Tennessee Tech TD vs. Gardner-Webb
Opinion: Stop The I-AA Madness
The number of games between ACC teams and Division I-AA teams will double this season.
Three ACC teams — Clemson, Florida State and Georgia Tech — have the audacity to play two Football Championship Subdivision, or FCS teams in the politically correct vernacular.
That can’t be what the NCAA powers had in mind when they approved a 12-game regular season in 2006? Or was it?
Liberty Hailed as Big South Favorite
CHARLOTTE — While Liberty was the runaway choice as preseason Big South conference champion Friday, it became clear one team was very difficult to pin down.
Charleston Southern had a first-place vote and two last-place votes among the 13 ballots cast by coaches and media.
Overall, the Buccaneers were picked to finish fifth. Coastal Carolina was second while Presbyterian remains ineligible during its second year in transition from Division II.

N.C. Central Likes to Recruit at Sun Valley
A football pipeline starting to develop toward Durham, NC with this high school and North Carolina Central. Also, other North Carolina products commit to Gardner-Webb and Davidson.
Two weeks before National Signing Day, N.C. Central coach Mose Rison came to Sun Valley and watched film on Decona Roberts.
Rison knew little about the Spartans senior.
After he watched Roberts’ tape and consulted with Spartans coach Scott Stein, Central offered the receiver a scholarship.
Holy Cross Has coach Kozerski Bursting With Pride
Two Kentucky standouts go to Holy Cross and Gardner-Webb.
Holy Cross HS football coach (and Holy Cross College alumnus) Bruce Kozerski was so filled with pride Wednesday, he seemed ready to pop. So was the Holy Cross library.
Senior two-way lineman Eric Oldiges became the school’s first Division I scholarship player, signing with Holy Cross College in front of an adoring and overflow crowd at the library of the small Latonia school.
