If there’s one thing universities with established athletic programs aspire to do, it’s eventually become Division I institutions. College football, in particular, remains the crown jewel of Division I athletics. Now, the NCAA has recognized that this goal is increasingly attainable for many rising programs and has changed a major rule affecting FCS schools seeking to move up to the FBS level.
Reports indicate that the NCAA has voted to eliminate a longstanding rule that prevented transitioning FCS programs from gaining immediate bowl eligibility. Previously, schools moving to the FBS had to wait two years before becoming eligible for postseason bowl games.
