Championship Subdivision no Subculture...good read

Post by Ibanez »

FBS programs have 85 football

scholarships and decide their champion via a bowl system. FCS programs have 63 scholarships and a championship playoff structure.

The NCAA thought the I-A and I-AA labels were confusing and wanted the new labels to reflect the disparate postseason formats.

If this is a subtle move to remind people a playoff system actually works, maybe it's a good idea in the long run.

Everyone knows that this is only what schools are AUTHORIZED. This isn't necessarily the level to which schools bother to fund their programs. There are many cheap-skate programs that try to get by without funding the full number of authorized scholarships, and that doesn't even count schools like the Ivies and the Pioneer schools that don't fund ANY schollies and those that are penalized schollies by the NCAA for violations of the rules, particularly in the areas of recruiting, grades, and APR.
