Division I FCS football season

«2009

2011»


The 2010 NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision football season, part of the college football season, began in September 2010 and concluded with the national championship game on January 7, 2011 won by Eastern Washington. The Eagles defeated Delaware 20–19 to claim their first Division I national title in any team sport.


For the first time since 1997, the final game was played at a new location—Pizza Hut Park in the Dallas suburb of Frisco, Texas.[1] Every title game since 1997 had been held at Finley Stadium in Chattanooga, Tennessee, but the NCAA opened the hosting rights for the 2010–2012 championship games for bids during the 2009 season, as the hosting contract between the NCAA and the Chattanooga organizers was set to expire.
In addition to Frisco and Chattanooga, three other cities submitted bids:[2]




  • Little Rock, Arkansas — War Memorial Stadium


  • Missoula, Montana — Washington–Grizzly Stadium


  • Spokane, Washington — Joe Albi Stadium


The field of bidders was eventually cut to Chattanooga and Frisco, with Frisco being announced as the winner on February 26, 2010.[1]


The January finish to the season was the result of an expanded playoff schedule. The championship tournament expanded from 16 teams to 20, with the Big South and Northeast Conference earning automatic bids for the first time. Eight teams played first-round games, with the remaining participants receiving byes into the second round. The playoffs began at their normal time on Thanksgiving weekend, specifically on November 27. According to early reports, the championship game would be played sometime between December 29, 2010 and January 7, 2011,[3] and January 7 was ultimately chosen.

Conference and program changes



New FCS programs


Two FCS programs began play in the 2010 season, and a third officially launched its program but chose not to compete until 2011:




  • Georgia State University fielded the first football team in its history. The Panthers play all home games at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, with the upper decks being covered so that the fans are restricted to the lower tier of the 71,000+ capacity stadium. Coached by Bill Curry, a former FBS head coach, they participate in the Colonial Athletic Association, although they will not play a full conference schedule until 2012.


  • Lamar University revived its program after a 21-season absence. The Cardinals play their home games in Provost Umphrey Stadium, the same venue that hosted the Cardinals before their demise after the 1989 season but was extensively renovated for their FCS return. The Southland Conference members, coached by former NFL player Ray Woodard, did not play a full conference schedule until 2011.


  • UTSA officially began its football program during this season, however all of its players were redshirted so that the season could be used for practice only.
