So what's in a college football subdivision name?

Subdivision. Championship. Football.

There. I’ve practically used more syllables and keystrokes than were allowed for a first paragraph in the old days when journalism teachers taught us to have short, sharp leads.

Who knew years later every Eastern Illinois football story I’d write would have to include Football Championship Subdivision.

Typing one atop the other, I count 15 more characters – including the space – for the new name than over the old NCAA Division I-AA, which I used to think bordered on cumbersome.
