But because the NCAA allowed four years for criteria #3 to be met, just eight schools (seven from the [[Southwestern Athletic Conference]], at the time the only Division I conference consisting of [[Historically Black Colleges and Universities|HBCUs]]) opted for Division I-AA for the 1978 season. Meanwhile, another 35 reclassified from [[NCAA Division II|Division II]] to Division I-AA, including four entire conferences. Thus, at least initially, the creation of Division I-AA appeared to backfire; rather than push smaller, weaker, poorer programs out of Division I, it created a pathway for football-playing Division II schools to join Division I without the obstacle of funding a major-college level football program.

The NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), formerly known as Division I-AA, is the second-highest level of college football in the United States, after the Football Bowl Subdivision. Sponsored by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the FCS level comprises 128 teams in 14 conferences as of the 2023 season. The FCS designation is only tied to football with the non-football sports programs of each school generally competing in NCAA Division I.

History

See also: NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision alignment history

From 1906 to 1955, the NCAA had no divisional structure for member schools. Prior to the 1956 college football season, NCAA schools were organized into an upper University Division and lower College Division. In the summer of 1973, the University Division became Division I, but by 1976, there was a desire to further separate the major football programs from those that were less financially successful, while allowing their other sports to compete at the top level.[1]

Division I-AA was created in January 1978, when Division I was subdivided into Division I-A and Division I-AA for football only.[2] The initial criteria for a program's admittance to I-A included (1) scheduling 60% of its games against other I-A teams, and either (2) having a 30,000-seat stadium and an average attendance of 17,000 for one year in the last four, or (3) drawing an average of 17,000 over the last four years. Division I football schools satisfying #1 and either #2 or #3 also had to maintain eight sports overall. Schools failing to meet either #2 or #3 could still qualify for I-A if they maintained twelve sports overall.[3] (NOTE: because the NCAA, at the time, governed male sports only, women's teams did not count toward these totals). Of the 144 schools participating in Division I football in the 1977 season, 79 were expected to qualify for I-A, with the remaining 65 relegated to I-AA.[3]

But because the NCAA allowed four years for criteria #3 to be met, just eight schools (seven from the Southwestern Athletic Conference, a league of HBCUs) that had just moved to Division I in 1977, opted for Division I-AA for the 1978 season. Meanwhile, another 35 reclassified from Division II to Division I-AA, including four entire conferences. Thus, at least initially, the creation of Division I-AA appeared to backfire; rather than push smaller, weaker, poorer programs out of Division I, it created a pathway for football-playing Division II schools to join Division I without the obstacle of funding a major-college level football program.

NCAA Division I-A and NCAA Division I-AA were renamed as NCAA Division I FBS and NCAA Division I FCS prior to the 2006 season.

Championships

Main article: NCAA Division I Football Championship

The FCS has held a post-season playoff to award an NCAA-sanctioned national championship since its inception in 1978. The size of the playoff bracket has increased from 4 teams in 1978 to 24 teams in the 2020 season. This makes the FCS the highest level of college football with an NCAA-sanctioned national championship.

Conferences

As of the 2023 football season, there are 13 Division I FCS football conferences:
