For athletics purposes, the school is known as simply Charlotte, a change made official by the athletic department on August 23, 2000. The athletic department sponsors sixteen varsity teams and competes in the NCAA's Division I. The university has been a full member of the Atlantic 10 Conference since 2005. Charlotte is considered a I-AAA member of Division I since the university does not have football; a grassroots movement has emerged with the goal of energizing financial support to bring college football to Charlotte. On September 18, 2008, Chancellor Dubois recommended to add a Division I-AA football program to UNC Charlotte. On November 13, 2008, the UNC Charlotte Board of Trustees voted 8-0 in favor of adding football to the University.
