	NCAA Division I-A independent schools - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		NCAA Division I-A independent schools are four-year institutions whose football programs are not part of an NCAA-affiliated conference.
		There are considerably fewer independent schools than in years past; many independent schools later join (or attempt to join) established conferences.
		Of these schools, only Notre Dame is a Bowl Championship Series school, which can be chosen for an at-large bid to a BCS Bowl game.

	College football - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was not until the post-World War II era that the pro game achieved ascendancy in the eyes of the average American sports fan.
		However, a lack of a pro franchise is not necessarily an indicator of where the college game is most successful; for example, in Ohio, Texas and Florida -- states which all have multiple NFL franchises -- there are universities that also rank in the upper financial echelons of the college football.
		Division I football is the only NCAA sport which doesn't decide its champion with a playoff.

		The Council directed the Division II Championships Committee to establish a task force to consider all options, including an approach that would -- as much as possible -- affiliate institutions, rather than the institution's individual sports, in particular regions (some sports, such as lacrosse, are so regional that a blanket national approach would not work).
		The Division II Presidents Council directed the ARC review of the matter out of concern that a number of athletically gifted, yet academically underqualified, student-athletes are transferring from Division I institutions with limited remaining eligibility.
		While the number of such athletes is not necessarily large, their presence has affected Division II's competitive landscape and -- in the minds of some -- presented Division II as a haven for student-athletes who have not succeeded academically at the Division I level.

	Off-Season Conditioning Program
		As NAIA schools are smaller, they offer fewer degrees and because the great majority of NAIA schools are liberal arts based, student-athletes interested in specialized majors (e.g., Marine Biology, Astronomy, or Civil Engineering) may have to expand their search to larger NAIA schools.
		NCAA D1 or D2 assistant coaches are frequently specialists whereas NAIA assistant coaches tend to be generalists.
		Unlike the NCAA which limits foreign trips or tours to one every three or four years, the NAIA has no such limitations and the NAIA does not mandate a set number of institutional contests to be played solely against other NAIA member institutions.

		When the NCAA formed a Division II Football Issues Project Team in the fall of 2001, little did anyone realize it would have such far-reaching implications.
		We had an NCAA representative in there all the time because we felt it would be better to keep them apprised of what was going on.
		But for all concerned, Division II football is in a much better state than it was two years ago.

		Meeting June 4-6 in Kansas City, Missouri, the NCAA Division II Women's Basketball Committee agreed to recommend to the NCAA Executive Committee that a strength-of-schedule index be added to the list of criteria or tools the championship committee uses to select participants for the 48-team field.

		The move comes as a result of a recommendation from Division II conference commissioners, who presented several plans to the committee for realignment.

	The University of South Dakota Announces Decision on Divison I AA Today (9/26/2002)
		Another key reason to stay in Division II was based on consideration of several constituencies, including students, the community, alumni, USD Foundation members and the people of South Dakota in general.
		Moving from Division II to Division I requires a four-year waiting period before any team can participate in postseason play; eight years in the case of basketball.
		If USD moved to Division I, it may not even find another conference, forcing it to play as an independent and perhaps ending rivalries that mean so much in athletic competition.
