In the summer of <a href="/wiki/1973_NCAA_Division_I_football_season" title="1973 NCAA Division I football season">1973</a>, the University Division became <a href="/wiki/NCAA_Division_I" title="NCAA Division I">Division I</a>, 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.<sup id="cite_ref-maydrop_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-maydrop-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Division I-AA was created in January 1978, when <a href="/wiki/NCAA_Division_I" title="NCAA Division I">Division I</a> was subdivided into <a href="/wiki/NCAA_Division_I-A" class="mw-redirect" title="NCAA Division I-A">Division I-A</a> and Division I-AA for football only.<sup id="cite_ref-bswb_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-bswb-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> 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.<sup id="cite_ref-spldecn_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-spldecn-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> (NOTE: the NCAA, at the time, governed male sports only; women's teams did not count toward these totals). Of 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.<sup id="cite_ref-spldecn_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-spldecn-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>But because the NCAA allowed four years for criteria #2 and #3 to be met, just eight schools (seven from the <a href="/wiki/Southwestern_Athletic_Conference" title="Southwestern Athletic Conference">Southwestern Athletic Conference</a>, a league of <a href="/wiki/Historically_Black_Colleges_and_Universities" class="mw-redirect" title="Historically Black Colleges and Universities">HBCUs</a> that had just moved to Division I in 1977) opted for Division I-AA for the 1978 season. Meanwhile, another 35 reclassified from <a href="/wiki/NCAA_Division_II" title="NCAA Division II">Division II</a> to Division I-AA, including four entire conferences. Thus, at least initially, the creation of Division I-AA appeared to backfire; rather than serve as a home for the smaller or less competitive football programs of Division I, it created a pathway for football-playing Division II schools to join Division I without the burden of funding a major football program. Division I-AA still had just 50 members when the four-year deadline set in January 1978 expired, forcing 41 schools that did not meet I-A criteria to reclassify to I-AA.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Some successfully appealed the decision, including eight members of the <a href="/wiki/Mid-American_Conference" title="Mid-American Conference">Mid-American Conference</a> along with <a href="/wiki/Cincinnati_Bearcats_football" title="Cincinnati Bearcats football">Cincinnati</a>, a football independent at the time.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Thus I-AA membership hit an early peak of 91 in 1982, before settling down into the 80-90 range for the next several years. </p><p>The next big increase in Division I-AA membership came after the January 1991 NCAA convention voted to require an athletic program to maintain all of its sports at the same divisional level by the 1993 season.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In order to comply, 28 Division I schools with football programs at the Division II and Division III levels were forced to upgrade their teams to the Division I level, and all of them (at least initially) chose Division I-AA as their new football home. At the same time, the number of football scholarships allowed in I-AA was reduced from the original 70 to 63, effective in 1994; it has remained at that number ever since. With the new additions, membership in I-AA hit a new high of 118 in 1993. </p><p>The subdivision stabilized thereafter, maintaining at least 120 members from 1997 onward. Membership peaked at 130 in 2022 before settling at the current 129. </p><p>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. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Championships">Championships</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=NCAA_Division_I_Football_Championship_Subdivision&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Championships"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/NCAA_Division_I_Football_Championship" title="NCAA Division I Football Championship">NCAA Division I Football Championship</a></div> <p>The FCS has held a post-season playoff to award an NCAA-sanctioned <a href="/wiki/NCAA_Division_I_Football_Championship" title="NCAA Division I Football Championship">national championship</a> since its inception in 1978.
