A companion lineage restricted to FCS Independents: the belt passes to
whoever beats the holder, exactly like the real belt, but only games between two
FCS Independents members COUNT — and only for the seasons both sides were actually
in FCS Independents at the time. William & Mary caught it but left FCS Independents — since this belt only passes among FCS Independents members, it reverted back to James Madison on November 20, 1983.
