	[No title]
		The NCAAâs primary purpose is to regulate and promote intercollegiate athletics in a manner that fully integrates athletics programs with the academic mission of higher education and student-athletes with the student body.
		As a membership organization, the NCAA serves as the governance and administrative infrastructure through which representatives of colleges and universities enact legislation and set policy to establish recruiting standards and competitive equity among members, protect the integrity of intercollegiate athletics, ensure the enforcement of its rules and provide public advocacy of college sports.
		Division I is further subdivided in the sport of football into three parts â“ Division I-A (the 117 institutions with the broadest financial commitment to athletics), Division I-AA (which sponsors football, but with fewer scholarships) and Division I-AAA (which does not sponsor the sport of football).

	Consideration Of Reclassifying From NCAA Division II to Division I-AA Statement :: Posted Oct. 24
		NCAA Division I is divided into three sections depending on the competitive level at which a school plays football.
		In Division I-A, football is financed and played at the highest level with 85 grants-in-aid and large, full-time coaching staffs; in Division I-AA football is operated at a lower, cost containment level with a maximum of 63 grants-in-aid, but at a level higher than in Division II which allows a maximum of 36 football grants-in-aid.
		Division I conferences have taken steps to prohibit their member schools from competing against Division II schools because a loss significantly reduces their opportunity to advance to postseason competition.
