Grossly misleading title to this article.

“How many teams play Division 1 football?

114. Don't know which team was added this year, but there are 128 in 2016. Will be 130 in 2017 with UAB and Coastal Carolina added.

Coastal Carolina's move to Sun Belt will result in 130 FBS teams for 2017 - CBSSports.com

I'm sure Jim Harbaugh will have a tweet about it soon. He will refer to Saban as "the Alabama coach".
