Patently false.

Teams and fans travel everywhere in FCS. Don't see why the fans of the big schools wouldn't do the same.

Last Year for example:
(1) Montana (12-0) def. South Dakota State (8-4), 61-48
Stephen F. Austin (10-2) def. E. Washington (8-4), 44-33

Appalachian St. (10-2) def. South Carolina St. (10-2), 20-13
(4) Richmond (11-1) def. Elon (9-3), 16-13

(2) Villanova (11-1) def. Holy Cross (9-3), 38-28
New Hampshire (10-2) def. McNeese State (9-3), 49-13

William & Mary (10-2) def. Weber State (7-5), 38-0
(3) Southern Illinois (11-1) def. Eastern Illinois (8-4), 48-7
