There hasn't technically been a Free Football Message Board for a while now, not just since the change to the new format. There is the FSU Sports Message Board, which is free, but it isn't dedicated just to Football. Also, while the Tribal Council is listed as a Football Message Board, it isn't supposed to be dedicated to just Football. Essentially the Tribal Council & the FSU Sports Message Board are supposed to serve the same purpose with the TC being Premium and the FSU SMB being free.
At least that is how I understand it.
