Starting in 2016. All big ten teams will be forbidden from scheduling 1aa teams and are required to replace any fcs games they have scheduled in the future with a power 5 conference team. That and they are going to the 9 game conference schedule like the big 12 and Pac 12.

Love it.
Used to be you could only count a FCS game once every 4 years in the count to get bowl eligible, but now you can use one game every year, although some teams have scheduled 2 like LSU.
In 1997 there was only 35 FBS v. FCS games, now there are over 100.
I imagine UCLA and USC would push for it in the PAC, neither have ever played a FCS team.
