So were we not really considered division 1 then? Was the MAC essentially an FCS conference? Yes, for several years that would have been essentially correct.  I'm not exactly sure what year the College Division was created, but in part of the 1950s I guess we were in this classification.  Before that there were no such formal divisions.  Oh, look what I found on Wikipedia: Years Division 1906–1955 None 1956–1972 NCAA University Division (Major College), College Division (Small College) 1973–present NCAA Division I, Division II, Division III 1978–2006 NCAA Division I-A, NCAA Division I-AA (Division I football only), Division II, Division III 2006–present NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision, Division I Football Championship Subdivision (Division I football only), Division II, Division III So it appears that we were in this College Division from 1956 until 1961.  As I recall in 1961 several MAC teams, including Ohio, became University Division members.  Then the following year 1962 the rest of the conference was elevated because by playing those schools already elevated they were then playing the majority of their games against University Division teams.  The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."
