Two I-AAs?

Ferd Lewis writes a column entitled "Schedule of the weak is shameful".
Indeed, the possibility of being left with two I-AA opponents is one of the most disconcerting elements in the whole the University of Hawai'i scheduling fiasco. And it is fueling much of the uproar while we wait ... and wait for a schedule.

...

The spin out of UH would remind you New Mexico State is playing two I-AA foes. But, really, do you want to put UH in the same category with the Aggies, who were 0-12 just two years ago and have been struggling to beat somebody, anybody, ever since?

Here, booking two I-AAs will be taken as a sign of desperate straits. Not the best of advertisements heading into what should be a banner season ticket sale.

Elsewhere the perception will be worse: that UH was trying to pull a fast one and was afraid to play another team of note. Not the kind of message you want to be deduced while pushing a quarterback for the Heisman Trophy or campaigning for a place in the Top 25.

By any name — I-AA or Football Championship Subdivision — having two of them on UH's schedule would be an embarrassment.
Please let it not be true! Or maybe this is the build-up to one of the greatest April Fools jokes of all time? I'm laughing already! Hahahaha!
