Hey, so I'm trying to research D1 schools, and it got me thinking - does anyone know which state has the most D1 schools in it? Just curious to see if there's a specific region where athletic programs seem to thrive.
California has the most Division 1 (D1) schools of any state in the US, with around 24 institutions competing at the D1 level. This makes sense given its large population and abundance of universities. Keep in mind that the number of D1 schools may vary slightly due to changes in athletic conference affiliations or status. Nonetheless, California remains a prominent region for strong athletic programs and opportunities.
