sponsored intercollegiate football at other levels with the exception of Jacksonville, which started a non-scholarship program in 1998. With the passing of NCAA legislation at the January 1991 convention, Division I institutions were required to conduct all intercollegiate sports at the divisional level. Therefore, the five charter members (Evansville the fifth before dropping football in 1997) joined, sharing a common academic and athletic philosophy and a common commitment to operate quality football programs. The league grew to nine members with the 2001 addition of four new schools - Austin Peay State University, Davidson College, Jacksonville University and Morehead State University. That expansion also necessitated the formation of two divisions with charter members Butler University, the University of Dayton, Drake University and Valparaiso University, plus the University of San Diego (joining in 1992) forming the North Division and the newest members becoming the South Division. The league spent its first season in 1993 under the administrative guidance of the Midwestern Collegiate Conference, but the offices moved to St. Louis in 1994, where current commissioner Patty Viverito took over PFL leadership. Beginning in 2004, the Pioneer Football League and Gateway Football League were joined by the Great West Football Conference as the only Division I conferences that sponsor football as their only sport. The PFL remains a proponent of NCAADivision I-AA 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 the first league in that new division.
