Two of the proposals floating around among the ADs of DI that I've heard are:

-Creation of 4 levels of DI
-No institution may reclassify unless they have a new conference home at the higher level secured

I think this is primarily for football.

I would guess that the 4 levels would actually formally split the two current levels:

FBS would split between the 6 BcS conferences and remaining.
FCS would split between scholarship and non-scholarship.

Not sure how the non-football playing members would be classified. I don't see them messing with basketball, though the conference 'home' requirement might prevent the NJIT's and others from moving up as independents only.
