INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana -- The NCAA's Branding and Fan Experience Group has recently launched a new logo for the Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS).The new logo is intended to raise awareness of FCS football, the level of Division I football in which the Ohio Valley Conference (Tennessee State), Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference and Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) competes amongst other traditional powers.
The SWAC does not participate in the FCS playoffs and holds its own football championship game, like NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conferences. The SWAC football championship game will be held at Reliant Stadium (Houston, Texas) on Saturday, December 7, 2013, and will include the Battle of the Bands competition with all ten of the conference’s member institutions participating. The contest will begin immediately following the football championship game at Reliant Stadium and admission is included with purchase of a game ticket.
The FCS new logo is part of the new "Every Down. Every Day." promotional campaign that will kick off during the 2013 season.
This 2013 season marks the first of an expanded 24-team playoff bracket, up from 20 teams a year ago. The first round will feature 16 teams in eight matchups with the winners advancing to the second round to play eight teams who have received a bye. This year the FCS playoffs will begin on Saturday, November 30 and conclude with the National Championship game on Saturday, January 4 in Frisco, Texas.
