D1 schools without football?

Hey everyone! I'm looking for colleges with D1 athletic programs, but I've noticed that many of them have football teams. Are there any D1 schools that don't have a football program? I'm curious about the overall campus culture at those schools.

Yes, there are several D1 schools without football programs. While football is a popular sport and often integral to campus life at many D1 institutions, some schools prioritize different sports or have smaller athletic departments. Here are a few examples of D1 schools without football programs:

1. Marquette University - Located in Milwaukee, Marquette's athletic culture is centered around its successful men's and women's basketball teams.

2. Gonzaga University - A school with a strong basketball tradition, Gonzaga has made deep runs in the NCAA tournament in recent years, creating a vibrant campus culture around basketball.

3. Providence College - Known primarily for its men's and women's basketball, Providence has a sports-centered campus life without a football program.

4. Creighton University - Much like the other schools mentioned, Creighton's athletic focus is on basketball, as well as soccer, volleyball, and baseball.

The overall campus culture at these schools can still be very spirited and sports-oriented, with a strong sense of community around their respective athletic programs. Students can enjoy the excitement of D1 sports, even without football, and often form strong connections with their fellow fans and athletes.

As you build your college list, you may find college search engines useful, like CollegeVine's, which allows you to filter schools based on a range of factors, including those without a D1 football team!

Good luck with your college search!
