Answering Your Questions: Who Is The Actual D-I Football Champ? - Dec 15, 2006 | 12:27:07

Double-A Zone reader Mo Johnson shot me an e-mail yesterday asking for us to clarify a couple of things about the Division I football postseason. Mo asks: ???Since the NCAA awards only one national championship in Division I football, will the winner Friday night be legitimately called the 2006 Division I National Champion???? Thanks to Mo for the question and I hope other readers will follow the trend and send in questions of their own. When Ohio State and Florida take the field next month to play for the national championship, they won???t be playing for an NCAA trophy. The Buckeyes and Gators will be competing for the BCS national championship, which is not controlled by the NCAA. The NCAA sponsors 88 championships in 23 sports, but does not have a hand in the Football Bowl Subdivision, formerly Division I-A. The winner of tomorrow night???s game between Massachusetts and Appalachian State will be the Division I national champion in football. The NCAA sponsors the postseason and has a hand in this championship. The victor will hoist an NCAA trophy at the end of the game, and it will be the only one provided to a Division I program this year. There is no question the winner will legitimately be called the Division I football champ. 
CommentsThat's a hot little tip right there, Mr. Centor. Let Tostitos dip that in a mild or spicy salsa! I just don't understand how the sponsors have that much of an effect in college sports. These division I football players that are big time, looking to go to the pros after this season, cannot accept a dime to put in the pocket but yet there are millions and millions of dollars coming through the organization from the sponsors such as Tostitos.

It means that two very good teams with very good coaches made it to the final game.
