We have met the enemy and it is us---

Today's DMR 2cents worth from ABO 50472: "If UNI follows Drake to Division II football, I will be giving up my season tickets."

1. Drake is not in Division II for football or any other sport.
2. Drake is Division I FCs non scholarship for football.
3. Worst case possibilities are UNI going to non-scholarship Division I FCS football or
4. Dropping football.
5. Try to understand the divisions and classifications. Thanks so much.

Perhaps you should figure them out as well since it is FCS not I-AA

Mea culpa. I was tossed by the DII.

Drake is a good rapper.... that is all i know.

Hilarious.

1) You don't understand the classifications.

2) You're right Drake isn't Division II. Drake is just like Division III. Horrible football.

Weakest post of the year.

Drake isn't D3 either....

What is the classification exactly? Because they are technically still included in the FCS, correct?

Drake is FCS just like us. Some in the loop of FCS call them I-AAA. To the average person and the NCAA they are they same as us.

Not exactly. If an FBS team plays a game against UNI (or any other FCS team that awards 63 scholarships) and wins, they can count one such win each season towards bowl-eligibility.

However wins against non-scholarship programs cannot be used towards bowl-eligibility.

While true about if it counts for the win the NCA still considers Drake FCS......and the bowl system isn't run by the NCAA.....

The independent audit completed when Troy Dannen first came on the job gave the conclusion that if UNI was forced to drop down from FCS scholarship football then we would likely drop football altogether.

So they are the same, only different. Now I understand.

If UNI goes non-scholarship FCS, we may as well end the program. You aren't competing for anything at the non-scholly FCS level. In fact, I would PREFER DII over non-scholly DI... Just sayin'...

The "average football fan" probably holds that same opinion about FCS football in general. If you want to be pessimistic about it.

Re: We have met the enemy and it is us---

Outside of my oops on DIAA, this is the conversation I hoped to occur. Question, can UNI be DII in football and DI in all other sports?
