Per CNNSI:

Quote :

"The top divisions of NCAA football could get new names next week. Division I-A would become the "Football Bowl Subdivision" and Division I-AA the "NCAA Football Championship Subdivision." The 16-team postseason tournament in Division I-AA would be called the "NCAA Division I Football Championship." The proposal came about because schools in Division I-AA felt stigmatized when the designation is used by media and others to describe the entire athletic program. -- Indianapolis Star"

What a grand idea! Lets have ambiguous names for every division! Why have numbers at all? After all, it might make Division III players and teams feel like they are playing a lower level than Division I.


If this gains any momentum, I'll have to wonder when the NCHSAA took over the NCAA.

We're reconforming to English ways!

The Football League in England used to be very simple: Division 1, Division 2, Division 3, Division 4.

Now, it's: Barclaycard Premiership, Coca-Cola Championship, Nationwide League 1, Nationwide League 2.
