The NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) is a level of college football in the United States that is part of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). It features schools that compete in a playoff system to determine a national champion, unlike the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), which uses bowl games for its championship. FCS teams typically have smaller budgets and fewer scholarships compared to FBS programs. The subdivision includes a variety of conferences, such as the Missouri Valley Football Conference and the Colonial Athletic Association, and showcases a diverse range of talent across the country.
