 The National Collegiate Athletic Association ( NCAA ) is split into three divisions : Division I , Division II , and Division III . According to the NCAA , Division I consists of " the largest programs that provide the most athletically related financial aid for student @-@ athletes " . Division I football is split into two subdivisions : the Football Bowl Subdivision ( FBS ) and the Football Championship Subdivision ( FCS ) . USA Today notes that the FBS is considered the tier at which major Division I universities play , while the FCS is a tier in which smaller programs compete . FBS member teams are allowed to have up to 85 scholarship players , while FCS member teams are allowed to award 63 scholarships . However , FCS teams can divide their 63 scholarships by giving some players ' partial scholarships ' . FBS teams vie to play in bowl games , while FCS teams aim to qualify for a postseason tournament . The two subdivisions were created in 1978 , and no other Division I sports are split in such a manner . The difference between the two subdivisions is great enough that John V. Lombardi , a former chancellor at UMass , which played FCS football before moving to FBS in 2012 , and a former president at FBS @-@ level Florida and Louisiana State , said that " even a crummy team in [ FBS ] football has higher visibility than a great team in [ FCS ] .
