Off to Gainesville, Penguins Draw Defending Champs Gators In NCAA Regionals
Penguin Nick:
They do...it's called Division II. If you all get the same amount of scholarships then you all play for the same prize. It's not like that in Div. 1 football, hence FBS & FCD.
IAA Fan:
I find it ironic that we are back to talking about things the way the used to be. It was in 1978 that the NCAA made a rule that schools will participate at the same division-level for all sports. It was at this time that they added and Division I-AA for football-only. In addition they added two club-level DI football conferences. Many called this I-AAA, but I never remember their being a 3rd DI football conference. Then in 1979, they allowed schools/conferences a chance to change at the division level without the traditional cost & time normally associated ... this is when YSU/OVC moved. Prior to this, schools participated in a division for each sport. Dayton made the Sweet-16 in the DI NCAA and won the D-III national football championship in the same year.

What we need is 1-AA football, baseball, basketballs, softball, track, tennis etc. Then we need to find a conference the best addresses our needs and join it. The operative term is "A" conference. That being said, I doubt it will happen. Too much greed at the NCAA to actually look out for there member institutions.
Penquin68:
I agree. We need 1-AA in all sports to give our athletes a competitive chance. The Butler run a few years back and Loyola this year are very rare indeed.

Nah. If anything it's easier now a days for a smaller school to make a run in the NCAA tourney. We've seen more and more the last few years.
