Branding – “Six years after the switch to FCS, the NCAA is funding a rebranding initiative that could lead to a new moniker. NCAA officials are not revealing the cost of the plan, nor do they want to end the suspense by releasing a recently completed consultant’s report. A group of NCAA staff, college presidents, conference commissioners, coaches and athletic directors is working on details for a brand rollout in 2013, to coincide with the FCS increasing its playoff bracket from 20 to 24 teams.”
Word is the new name will be Division 2
Nope. Won't help. Most people still will not care. FBS FBS FBS.

If you make FCS division 2 what does that do to basket ball and all of the other NCAA sports?
1AA still makes the most sense. At least more fans understood it. (I think?!?)
it should be called the Appalachian League.
glad the ncaa is once again spending time and money wisely.
Hope the rebranding includes the creation of a third sub-classification within D-I. Top level consisting of the 6 major conferences and a reduction in grants to 75, mid level made up of CUSA, MAC, Mtn West, Sunbelt with 75 grants, and lower made up of current FCS leagues with 60 grants.
ehhh I'll rather stick with our 85 scholarships
