FBS and FCS rules are not identical
Division I football is split into the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) and the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). Most contact dates are the same, but the two have different recruiting calendars, and FCS schools can hold short on-campus evaluations in June. Every page on this site says which one it means. Division II, Division III, NAIA and junior college football each have their own rules.
