The NCAA plans to divide Division I football into two subdivisions under a new policy proposal. Major Division I would require eight sports plus football, 60 percent schedule against Division I, and 17,000 average home attendance. Division I-AA would set different sport and schedule requirements. President J Neils Thompson calls it the most important legislation before the convention, while some conferences push a moratorium or restructuring efforts.
