FYI - FBS is Football Bowl Subdivision. These schools go to bowl games... (Old Division 1-A)
Portland State is an FCS (Football Championship Subdivisions) - they actually have a playoff system. (Old Division 1-AA)
That being said, I still had a trouble understanding Lisa's comment though...
Why would the fans prefer Portland State (West FCS School) over an East coast FBS school (Rutgers or Syracuse level school)?
I certainly am not particulary familiar with the west coast FCS schools...
I understand the scheduling is very complicated and I don't blame ASU for the two FCS schools, but Lisa's comment did not make much sense to me.
