Are the people in Fresno just dumb or know nothing about college football???

Actually, the Ivies are all D1, although non-Ivy schools like Swarthmore and Amherst obviously are not.

The discussion was about football.

They are D1 in hoops obviously.

But not in football

They are FCS in football, which is the old AA notation.

Your first, second, and fourth sentences are correct, but the third one is not. FCS is D1, as in 1AA (formerly). They can't compete for the D2 championship because they are not D2. I went to Brown, so I guess I care a little about getting this right, but I don't care enough to keep arguing. I don't even remember why this came up in this thread.

I wasn't calling them Division 2.

They are FCS, or formerly DI-AA.

The Ivies, as you know-- are non-scholarship.

The "D1" FOOTBALL programs are the 1-A programs----there are 125 of them.

Harvard, Princeton, Brown--- do not compete in 1-A football.
