I don't speak for the IL schools, but the FCS playoffs conflict directly with final exams at most of the IL schools. So, the playoffs conflict with prioritizing academics. I know that a proper retort could be that student athletes should be able to handle both and some accommodations could be made.

The inequity of over some sports being allowed, but not football, has never been articulated well and probably never will be.
