From the lips of an OVC Commissioner during the OVC's Media Days.
Concerning football: "It seems probable that the 1-AA designation for football will be eliminated soon. There will be Division 1 with no designation. The post-season will be the Bowl Championship Series for the larger schools and the Playoff Championship Series for smaller schools. It's a branding issue for the most part, which would finally remove the 1-A and 1-AA designation that some school administrators feel gives their schools a 2nd class label. That could happen by next season."
