NCAA Division I FBS independent schools
NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision independent schools are four-year institutions whose football programs are not part of an NCAA-affiliated conference. This means that FBS independents are not required to schedule each other for competition like conference schools do. There are many fewer independent schools than in years past; many independent schools join, or attempt to join, established conferences, usually in order to gain a share of television revenue and access to bowl games that agree to take teams from certain conferences, and in order to help deal with otherwise potentially difficult challenges in scheduling opponents to play throughout the season.
All Division I FBS independents are eligible for the College Football Playoff (CFP), or for the so-called "access bowls" associated with the CFP, if they are chosen by the CFP selection committee. Notre Dame has a potential tie-in with the Orange Bowl. Army has an agreement with the Military Bowl (formerly the EagleBank Bowl),〔Tenorio, Paul. ("Bowl Game Brings Football Back to RFK" ). The Washington Post. September 11, 2008. Retrieved October 5, 2008.〕 and Notre Dame, in addition to its CFP agreement, has other bowl agreements as part of its affiliation with the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). (Notre Dame had similar agreements with its previous conference, the Big East.) BYU had an agreement with the Armed Forces Bowl for 2011.〔()〕
The ranks of football independents increased by one starting with the 2011 season with the announcement that BYU would leave the Mountain West Conference to become a football independent starting with that season. The ranks increased by two in 2013 when the WAC dropped football and New Mexico State and Idaho did not have a conference for football. The ranks of football independents decreased by two in 2014 with the return of Idaho and New Mexico State as football-only members of the Sun Belt Conference, and decreased by one more in 2015 with Navy joining the American Athletic Conference as a football only member.〔(Navy sets sail with the Big East )〕〔(Big East officially adds Navy )〕〔At the time Navy announced it would leave the independent ranks, its destination conference was known as the Big East Conference. When that conference split into football-sponsoring and non-football conferences in July 2013, the non-football schools took the Big East name with them. The football-sponsoring conference now operate as the American Athletic Conference.〕 UMass is expected to become an FBS independent beginning in 2016.〔"Independent football schedule taking shape for UMass">()〕 Coastal Carolina will also play as an FBS independent in 2016 during its FCS-to-FBS transition before joining the Sun Belt Conference in the following year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://sunbeltsports.org/news/2015/9/1/GENERAL_0901151041.aspx )〕
