No one likes your new name (who wants to take the time or energy to say "Football Bowl Subdivision Independents", anyway?), but no one can deny the tradition of your schools. Why join one of those new-fangled conferences when you've already got all the passion and history you need on your own? Whether it's another epic battle for supremacy between the Service Academies or the countless banners that lavishly decorate the halls in South Bend, the independents don't need a conference to make a name for themselves. The sports gurus have speculated that the age of successful independent football programs is in its waning stages. But you know differently. It's time to prove the "experts" wrong. Join Sports Illustrated's Stewart Mandel and DonorsChoose.org in the Conference Showdown. Donate to the projects below and prove that fans of the Football Bowl Subdivision Independents are still a force to be reckoned with. hide
