Division A at Division B
Posted: Tue Feb 07, 2006 8:29 pmNationally how many teams are playing B who are inelligible to win their conference because they are A schools? I know the GRLC has Arkansas and Memphis.

Posted: Wed Feb 08, 2006 10:52 amTCU (A second year team) is playing down as they develop their program.
OU (A first year team) is playing down to get their feet wet.
OU and TCU will likely move up to the A Division in the next couple of years when they have their programs running well.
When they both move up we will have a 14 team A division (7 North, 7 South).

Posted: Wed Feb 08, 2006 4:20 pmTo recap the rule........................if the school your team is associated with has DI football, then you must play in division A? Correct?
Or has it been decided that the conference can decide? I'm assuming that a team could be eligible for league post season play (if the individual conference decides to do so), but not national post season play?

Posted: Wed Feb 08, 2006 4:25 pmIf your school plays D1A football then the MDIA considers you an A team, no matter what your conference considers you. Your conference could let you play a B schedule, play in the conference B championship, even get conference B post-season awards, but nationally your team would only be eligible for the A poll, tournament, awards, etc.
Posted: Wed Feb 08, 2006 5:17 pmWhat about Dayton (CCLA)?
I have 9 teams total nationwide: Alabama (SELC), Arkansas (GRLC), Memphis (GRLC), TCU (LSA), Oklahoma (LSA), UNLV (WCLL), Wyoming (RMLC), & Dayton (CCLA). Is this correct?

Posted: Wed Feb 08, 2006 5:26 pmI can't remeber what the league decided to do with Dayton. They requested to play in the A conference, but were denied. If I remember correctly they received some votes in the top 25 poll.
Posted: Wed Feb 08, 2006 5:30 pmI think Dayton is I-AA in football.

You are correct. I thought they were in the MAC (along with 1-A schools like Miami University, Northern Illinois, Akron, Western Michigan, Eastern Michigan, etc.). But I was wrong.
Dayton Football plays in the 1-AA Pioneer Football League:
