New Labels for Div. 1 Football

[MrMustang1965]

NCAA News:

The Division I Board has approved new labels for Division I. The presidents approved a change in terminology to “Football Bowl Subdivision” for the former I-A classification and “NCAA Football Championship Subdivision” for the former I-AA group. The Collegiate Commissioners Association helped develop the new labels.

The presidents believe the new nomenclature, which becomes effective in December, more accurately distinguishes Division I institutions for purposes of governing football, the only sport for which such a distinction is necessary. Members felt the old nomenclature inaccurately tiered Division I institutions in all sports, not just football, and produced instances in which media outlets and other entities incorrectly cited institutions as being Division I-AA in basketball or baseball, for example.

“All Division I institutions, regardless of whether they sponsor football, are in fact and should be referred to as Division I members,” said Board Chair and University of Connecticut President Philip Austin. “The only reasons for labeling are the need to distinguish the two football subdivisions for the purpose of governing the sport and to maintain separate statistics. The Board is stressing that the nomenclature reflect the totality of the Division I membership whenever possible and that the subdivision labels be used sparingly. Still, there are instances in which we need to use them, and we feel the new labels are more accurate.”

The new nomenclature does not effect the voting structure used in Division I governance matters.

“NCAA Football Championship Subdivision”

Boy that's a mouthful. Couldn't we just call them Football Bowl Subdivision-AA?

Why not name them "Doing it the wrong way" and "Doing it the right way".

That by the way is also the name of my wife's book on my bedroom performances.

Great...now we have Div. 1 FBS and Div. 1 FCS. That won't confuse too many people now will it. Let's just say D1B and D1C...(KISS).

I'm sure this will catch on.

Person 1:Did you see Tech score 80 last weekend?
Person 2:Yeah, but it was just against some NCAA Football Championship Subdivision team.
Person 1:Well, they don't want the voters to realize that they're just average against other Football Bowl Subdivision teams.
