This interview with Swofford was posted on Warchant today. He covered a variety of topics, including the deregulation petition. He had some significant comments. He completely shot down the 3-division idea. He said it was a rumor and they weren't even considering it. He said most of the schools support the divisions as they currently exist, and he the main goal of this has been the scheduling issue, i.e some teams not playing each other enough.
