The Owls will initially take to the football field as Division I-AA, which is one step below the major programs, because of National Collegiate Athletic Association rules. The NCAA doesn’t allow football teams to ascend to the Division I-A level until it sees their crowd base and financial backing.
The Owls will need to average 17,000 paid fans per game and build a facility on campus. The university recently broke ground on a 61,000-square-foot stadium that will seat 42,000 people.
The earliest a team can switch to Division I-A is two years from its creation.
Schnellenberger’s time line has the Owls making that transition in 2003.
