The newest FCS team transitioning in 2027. All of this and a bit more in this week's Akem's Analysis!

In this week's Akem's Analysis, I look into the NEC's strength of schedule and what that looks like for them going into the 2006 season. This is considered to be the weakest conference in the FCS, but they still have an AQ bid, so let's discuss what it will look like for them. UTRGV continues to set the standard for all of the budding teams in the FCS. Attendance, facilities, stadium renovations, recruiting. They are looking to continue to set the bar high. All of this and more in this week's Akem's Analysis, so stay tuned for the entire episode.

In this week's Akem's Analysis, I talk about the recent Manning Passing Academy and what that means for some of the top QBs in the subdivision. Were there some snubs with the top QBs in the FCS? The OVC Strength of Schedule was a topic of discussion, particularly how weak it is compared to the rest of the FCS. Some rule changes are happening in FCS football and across CFB. What do those rule changes look like? All of this and much more in this week's Akem's Analysis!
