What is Division 1 FCS?
The NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) is comprised of 120+ schools that have football as a varsity sport. Previously known as Division I-AA, the teams in this league compete in a playoff series. From an Athletic Scholarship perspective, FCS schools operate a little differently than FBS Schools (See FBS definition). In FCS programs, football is classified as an equivalency sport, and programs are allowed to give partial scholarships amounting to a total aid of 63 athletic scholarships.
