The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) is the major governing body for intercollegiate athletics in the United States with more than 1200 colleges and universities as members. There 350 NCAA Division 1 Schools, with over 6000 athletic teams, and over 170,000 student-athletes.

These schools have the largest student enrollment, biggest athletic budgets, and the most athletic scholarships.  Most collegiate sporting events you see on TV, such as March Madness and the College World Series, are competitions between Division I Schools. Division I has the best athletes in the sport, and the competition for a spot on the team is fierce. The DI athlete is truly dedicated to their sport for the next four years, as they are expected to train intensely and travel extensively.  *Ivy League schools are Division I but do not offer academic or athletic scholarships
