[edit] Notes
- ^ UNC Charlotte Chancellor Phil DuBois recommended to the university trustees in September 2008 the school field a football team by 2013. The plan still had to be approved by the trustees, and was slated to be heard in their November 2008 meeting.[1] The final vote to approve the football program for a 2013 launch came in December 2009.[2]
- ^ On November 21, 2011, Houston Baptist and the Southland Conference announced that the school would become a member of that conference in July 2013, and would launch a football program. HBU will become a football member of the conference in 2014.[3]
- ^ On September 15, 2010, KSU announced that it planned to launch a Division I FCS program in 2014.[4]
