i believe Div 1A is now known as the "Bowl Series" and Div 1AA is known as the Championship Series

In Div IAA they have a True Champion

In Div IA you have a True Chaos

Did Div.1-AA change to Div. 1?

What is Div. 1-A now?

IIRC, its Championship Subdivision (1aa), and Bowl Subdivision (1A). I'm going to still refer to 1aa as 1aa, for if no other reason, just to piss off the 1aa nut jobs from mcsneeze state and other 1aa programs.

This stuff is a little confusing. Forgive me if some of this is obvious, but I'll try to put the system into full context. And hopefully I'll get this right.

Start with the major classifications for college athletics: Division I, II, III, and NAIA.

Division I is universities that range widely in size from giants like University of Texas or Ohio State to smaller universities like Youngstown State and Missouri State. Division II schools are smaller programs such as North Dakota or Northwest Missouri State. Division III schools are even smaller, like Wesley, St. John Fisher, and Mary Hardin-Baylor. And NAIA schools are really small, like Sioux Falls and Saint Xavier.

In football, Division I schools are sub-divided into Division I-A and Division I-AA.

Division I-A schools have certain requirements for minimum stadium size, minimum average attendance, and minimum number of sports participated. All schools in I-A are technically eligible for the BCS (Bowl Championship Series), which involves the Fiesta, Orange, Rose, and Sugar bowls. The "BCS conferences" are those mega-conferences - like the Big 12, Big 10, SEC - that are guaranteed that their champion will play in one of the four BCS bowl games. Any Division I-A school can play in a post-season bowl game.

Division I-AA schools do not go to bowl games. Instead, they play a true playoff system (what a concept).

In basketball, however, there is no I-A and I-AA. All Division I schools are eligible for the NCAA post-season tournament (once again, what a concept). So if you watch basketball, annoucers may talk about Division I, while in football they may reference I-A.

Make sense?

      My non UNT co worker that has no interest in football just sent me this reel. It’s a very cool story! I hope he sticks around and pushes Poffenbager. Iron sharpens iron.

      So sick of the crap this football program slings us

      So it’s Jared right? He can make it happen. Meaning he has the power to assemble Talons, Maniacs and Green Brigade Leadership this month to plan for the creation and execution of the DATCU Energy Experience this fall. I would think our band would learn from other bands that out excite them. But they don’t. They don’t copy them, try offshoot efforts of them…I see nuances which can be cool but I’m talking about a full in game production transformation. Which needs to include: Pregame March. Pregame field sets. Stand music sets. Chant alignment at the quarters and kickoff. Big 3rd quarter close. There is power in numbers and their efforts could ignite the alumni side. We need coordinated chants like TSU’s eat em up eat em up go cats go or something like that. I also miss Fky Like An Eagle Go Green Go White… We used to have an awesome 3rd down Green Brigade set always played at the right time and only on that down. I’m not meaning to come down on the GB because this is a leadership focus. But the time is now. Season is over. All amazing performances have terrifically designed practices, rituals and coordinated forces behind them. Jared may even consider a Fan Council to help with idea generation, program research, connection support…give council members a 2 year term and they collaborate monthly with feedback to the athletic board regularly. That would be 6-7 Council meetings to spawn community, dormant alumni, and student engagement before opening day. Let’s get some things going then we can talk about that cool Rangerette type crew for the stands down the line. See TSU, Alabama, Auburn most programs in the SEC. First things first. GMG
