Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 4238344, member: 289"] Division 1AA was created in 1978 for the mid-majors but schools were refusing to move down into it. One proposed solution was to have a rule that to be in IA you had to have a 50,000 seat stadium. Thus the Carrier Dome was designed to seat 50,000 people. That didn't discourage the mid-majors who said they would build 50,000 seat stadiums if that's what it took to remain in D1A so the rule never was passed. [/QUOTE]
