OVC, Southland to propose permanent 12th game (Yahoo Sports)

The two conferences announced Thursday their plan to propose legislation for a permanent 12th regular-season game in the FCS. FCS programs are restricted to 11 regular-season games in most seasons - one game fewer than the FBS. OVC commissioner Beth DeBauche and Southland commissioner Tom Burnett released a joint statement announcing the proposal: "The 12th game proposal gives FCS programs additional opportunities for non-conference contests, including games against FBS competition, and a better chance to secure six home games in a yearly schedule.
