Conference changes and new programs

Conference changes

  • A 1991 NCAA rule change required athletic programs maintain all of their sports at the same division level by the 1993 season. In order to comply, many Division I programs with football teams at the Division II levels reclassified their programs to Division I-AA, resulting in a large number of teams departing Division II after the 1992 season.
    • After losing four of its core members to this requirement, the Western Football Conference was forced to dissolve before the season. Four of its members reclassified to Division I-AA while its remaining members either became Division II independents or dropped their football programs.
  • The West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference transitioned its entire membership from the NAIA to Division II prior to the season.
