The 1996 football season marks the fourth year for the Pioneer Football League (PFL), a conference committed to operating a quality football program for the benefit of the student-athletes and the university community. Formed in November of 1991, the Pioneer Football League is comprised of NCAA Division I universities that previously sponsored intercollegiate football at other levels. With the passing of NCAA legislation atthe January 1991 convention, Division I institutions were required to conduct all intercollegiate sports at the same level. Therefore, the five charter members, Butler University, University of Dayton, Drake University, University of Evansville and Valparaiso University, joined together, sharing a common academic and athletic philosophy and a common commitment to operate quality football programs. In February, 1992, the University ofSanDiegojoined the PFL for its inaugural season. The PFLjoins the Ivy and the PatriotLeagues as NCAADivision I-AAconferences that provide only need-based financial aid for football players. The conference remains a proponent of NCAA Division I-AAA legislation that would develop a classification for Division I football programs operating with need-based aid and adopted the moniker of Pioneer based on the intent to become one of the first I-AAA leagues. The Gateway Football Conference in St. Louis, Missouri, will administer the communications and administrative duties for the PFL.
