Usually I go to ESPN in early August to review the College Football Schedule of NDSU and other teams. I like to jump from schedule to schedule as I am looking at various teams in the Missouri Valley or other FCS schools. This year ESPN has failed to post any of the FCS teams schedules. In past years, the FBS schedules were loaded up first followed by the FCS a week or so later.

For example, Colorado State's Page:

http://espn.go.com/college-football/team/_/id/36/colorado-state-rams

North Dakota State's Page:

http://espn.go.com/college-football/team/_/id/2449/north-dakota-state-bison

Looks like they cut the FCS posting guy out of their budget.

I added something to Bisonville right by the "What's New?" button, there's now a "Bisonville Fan Guide" button. The fan guide includes every college's schedules and results. No box scores though.

The NCAA site has box scores but I find it hard to get the info I'm usually after: http://www.ncaa.com/scoreboards/football/fcs/2012/01

Sports Illustrated / CNN still has FCS teams though: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/ncaa/teams/diviaa.html

This is also pretty good.

If you want FCS go to the right where it says FBS and it will do a drop down menu and go to FCS. You will get all the scores.

I noticed this too. It's really really really really annoying.

I try to avoid espns website if possible. You start reading an article and the realize you have to be an "insider" with a subscription to finish reading it.

This has really been pissing me off too.

I reported this as a bug on ESPN's 'Report a Bug' link at the bottom of their website.

For TV games this is what I use. Unscheduled TV games get updated on a weekly basis.

The schedules are there, they just aren't programmed correctly to link up.
