  • Was I-AA allowed a 12th game too?

    I just noticed that there are only 11 games on the schedule. Is that because we were not able to find a 12th opponent or did the NCAA only allow I-A the 12th game? That would make sense considering our playoffs start while I-A is still playing regular season games.

    Earlier this summer someone posted the agenda for an NCAA meeting on this board. Along with the possible name change for 1-A/1-AA (which did not get done at that time) there might have been something about schedules for us - I'm not positive. Don't think anything changed. At any rate, to answer your question, I think (1-AA) Championship Subdivision is still limited to 11 games.

      1-AA will not have 12 games this year, b/c it got voted down in a meeting this past Spring. It was proposed again at yesterday's meetings (or Weds), and they declined to vote on the measure b/c a couple of the members of the board from 1-AA were absent. The measure will be voted on again in October I believe.

      The rationale for not having 12 games came from the fact that 1-AA plays playoffs, which extend the season into mid December. It would also take out the bye week.
      The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

        When the PAG passes it in October I-AA (CS on 12/22) will have the opportunity for 12 games every year starting next season.
