Team Background:?The teams now chosen for each of the AFCA’s five?divisions evolved from a single 11-player squad in 1945. From 1945 until 1967, only one team was chosen. From 1967 through 1971, two teams, University Division and College Division, were selected. In 1972, the College Division was split into College I and College II. In 1979, the University Division was split into two teams — Division I-A and Division I-AA. In 1996, the College I and College II teams were renamed Division II?and Division III,?respectively. In 2006, the Division I-A and Division I-AA teams were renamed Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS)?and Football Championship Subdivision (FCS),?respectively. The AFCA started selecting an NAIA All-America Team in 2006.
I'm glad to see Oliver Luck gone. Lets see, Hire of Dana Holgorsen ( the face of the football team. LOL) , Running off Greg Van Zant (who recruited players from West Virginia and won with them), Randy Mazey (recruits the state of Texas and soon as all West Virginia players that Van Zant recruited are gone, no more in-state players) , leaving the best basketball league ever! Let's not forget the beer sales (Oliver Luck wants you to drink beer. More to the point, he wants you to drink his beer, on his campus, in his stadium, on his terms and to add to a already unruly stadium. NICE)! I FOR ONE,GLAD HE IS GONE! BYE , BYE, AND GOOD LUCK!
