Valley's Viverito responds to FBS plans to phase out FCS games
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Missouri Valley Football Conference Commissioner Patty Viverito says plans by some power conferences to phase out games against FCS opponents won't be a "death knell."
Viverito acknowledged Monday that the expected loss of revenue-generating road games against schools from the Big Ten and other major conferences in the near future won't be a good development for the Championship Subdivision.
Viverito says Valley schools will continue to seek out "guarantee" games.
