NCAA set to eliminate I-A, I-AA labels

Appalachian State will go down in history as the last team to win an NCAA Division I-AA championship, technically speaking.
The NCAA is ending the use of the designations I-A and I-AA for Division I football teams. The move was approved last August by the NCAA's board of directors but won't officially go into effect until Dec. 15, although the new and supposedly improved labels are now being used in conjunction with the start of the I-AA playoffs.
The NCAA is renaming Division I-A the Football Bowl Subdivision and renaming I-AA the Football Championship Subdivision. The NCAA will now call the I-AA playoffs the NCAA Division I Football Championship.
