I want to play sports in college and I'm looking for a list of Division 1 schools. Where could I find an accurate list? Is there a master list somewhere that anyone knows of?
Sure, there is a resource to find a list of D1 schools. The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association), which is the organization that oversees college sports in the US, maintains a directory of schools under the different divisions (D1, D2, and D3).
To find this list, simply go to the NCAA website. From the home page, navigate to the "Schools" section. Then, view the directory and select "Division I". It will present you with an alphabetical list of all the schools that are currently recognized as D1 institutions.
Do keep in mind that D1 schools are typically larger and have more funding for their sports programs. If your goal is to continue playing sports in college, consider contacting these schools' athletic departments or coaches with any sports-specific questions you might have.
Best of luck with your collegiate sports journey!
