As of 2024, there are 10 FBS conferences and 134 teams with 85 full-scholarship players.

Founded in 1978, college football is a wildly competitive sport in the US, particularly in the FBS with top programs generating tens of millions of dollars in annual revenue. This subdivision attracts four- and five-star players who are developed to pursue their careers in the NFL or other leagues. The annual spring NFL Draft signs 224 college football players with a contract to play in the professional league.
