I'm browsing through different colleges and considering the athletic programs. Is Grand View University's football program Division I? If not, does anyone know what division they belong to? Thanks!
Grand View University's football program is not Division I. The university is a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and competes in the Heart of America Athletic Conference. NAIA is a separate organization from the NCAA, so their divisions differ. In terms of athletic competition, NAIA offers a level of play that lies somewhere between NCAA Division II and Division III. Grand View University's football team has experienced success in the NAIA, including winning a national championship in the past.
