SIU Football Falls to Division I AA Status
SIU Carbondale and most Missouri Valley Conference teams move to Division I AA after NCAA adopts tougher criteria for I-A membership. Salukis face 75 I-A scholarships and a 30,000 seat stadium rule, with playoff chances in I-AA potential. Hartzog says the change may improve post-season prospects and TV exposure under ABC CBS contracts.
