Message: [QUOTE="shizzle787, post: 4392401, member: 6581"] Matt Norlander of CBS Sports wrote an article a week or so ago based on his survey of college coaches which included a question about who belongs in Division 1. The article is here: [URL='https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/candid-coaches-how-many-teams-should-be-playing-ncaa-division-i-basketball/']https://www.cbssports.com/college-basket...asketball/[/URL] One of the coaches postulated a theory of what he though would happen: "I think Division I will be divided into three subgroups: 1A, which is [Power Six], will have stipends and utilize autonomy. 1B will look like college now with some NIL. 1C will be anchored by the Ivy league, Patriot League and their presidents trying to maintain traditional academic model." With that said, here is my proposed 1-A, 1-AA, and 1-AAA. [B]Division 1-A[/B]: 141 teams 64-team March Madness w/11 auto bids and 53 at-large bids 16-team NIT 33-game regular season schedule 30+ games vs. 1-A 32+ games vs. 1-AA or better All 33 games against D-1 At least 12 home games Athletes paid $20k/year by schools (equivalent of TA position)+ FCOA Conferences: ACC A-10 American B1G Big East Big 12 MW MVC Pac-12 SEC WCC [B]Division 1-AA[/B]: 123 teams 40-team national championship tournament w/11 auto bids and 29 at large bids 31-game regular season schedule 27 games vs. 1-AA or better 30 games vs. 1-AAA or better 1 Division 2 opponent allowed At least 11 home games FCOA Conferences: C-USA MAC Sun Belt Southern CAA WAC MAAC Big Sky Summit Big West Horizon [B]Division 1-AAA[/B]: 98 teams 32-team national championship tournament w/10 auto bids and 22 at large bids 30-game regular season schedule 28 games vs. D-1 2 Division 2 opponents allowed At least 10 home games Traditional scholarship model Conferences: Ivy A-Sun Big South OVC AE Patriot Southland SWAC MEAC NEC Chicago State [/QUOTE]
