INDIANAPOLIS – The NCAA Division I Council has proposed a framework to conduct a season in the Football Championship Subdivision, with teams allowed to play up to 11 games from this fall into next spring and a playoff bracket reduced from 24 to 16 teams.The regular season would span 13 weeks through April 17, followed by playoffs through May 15.
The recommendations, voted on Wednesday, will be forwarded to the Division I Board of Directors for approval.None of the 13 FCS conferences are playing league games this fall because of the coronavirus pandemic and nearly 800 games involving FCS teams were canceled.
