NCAA rules state FBS teams can only play FCS teams if the FCS team uses at least 90% of their available scholarship allocation. Since Drake doesn't offer scholarships, there's no way this can happen unless the NCAA allows it which they did not.
With the number of games getting cancelled due to Hurricane Florence there will be other better possibilities for Iowa State. Personally I think if they need this game they shouldn't get to participate in a bowl but it is what it is.
