The NCAA is weighing a number of new conditions to join its richest, highest-profile division, including an application fee of as much as $1 million. Reclassifying schools now pay $15,000.

The guidelines are being hammered out by the Division I Leadership Council, which reports in October to the school presidents and chancellors on the D-I Board of Directors. The earliest any changes would kick in is April.

"Division I is a significant brand. There's a nice revenue-sharing pool," says Georgia athletics director Damon Evans, who heads the Leadership Council. "We've just got to make sure … that those in Division I are the right institutions and can meet the standards and qualifications."

The action comes as Division I has grown from 310 schools a decade ago to 335, with another 13 en route to full membership by the 2012-13 school year. Concerned about overgrowth — and an influx of schools lacking Division I-level funding and other resources — the NCAA cut off new applications until August 2011.
