History:
Established in 1997 to promote and advance college football, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) football represents a coalition among the following: National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA), American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), Collegiate Commissioners Association (CCA), and the NCAA.
The NCAA’s
Division I-A was formally named as
such in 1978 - its former champions
were formerly known the “major
college champions.” Moreover,
it was not until 1998 when the NCAA
conducted an official national title
game for its Division I-A football.
NCAA’s Divisions II and III,
on the other hand, both started holding
championships in 1973.
