D1 consists of the largest schools that also have big budgets to support their athletic programs. It is considered to be the most competitive division with the best athletes and teams. There is a separation within Division 1 as well. You have the high major, mid-major, and lower D1 conferences. D2 has some pretty solid teams and athletes, but the schools tend to be a little smaller and have lower budgets. D3 is the lowest division and it is comprised of many small private universities with fairly low budgets.
The differences between D1, D2, and D3 are significant in some areas, while in others there are only slight changes. Please note that in this article we are generalizing for the majority of schools and sports in their respective division. There will be some exceptions! D1 : Offer full s cholarships that cover everything including tuition, room and board, books, dining plans, etc. D3 : Do not offer any athletic scholarships, but can provide financial aid packages. D1 : The majority of schools at this level have very large budgets.
Athletes are provided with lots of gear and new uniforms yearly. Training facilities are top notch with the best trainers available.
D2 : Some schools have larger budgets than others, but the highest budgets at this level are still substantially lower than the highest D1 budgets.
D3 : Budgets are often very minimal for athletics and are just a step higher from the high school level.

D1 : The best coaches are typically at this level and earn a hefty paycheck.
These programs will also have a lot of assistant coaches on the staff that are compensated well. D3 : Most of the coaches are younger and are trying to move there way up to higher divisions. On the flip side some of them are older in age and have been at the same place for a long time.
These programs have very few assistant coaches and some of them are volunteers. D1 : The best athletes and teams with the most pro players come from this division. However, when you consider how few athletes play beyond high school this division is still really good competition.
I played D1 basketball in college, from personal experience I would say these comparisons are purely team-based. There are plenty of D2 and even a few D3 players I knew who were better than players at the D1 level.
D1 : Lots of traveling all over the country with intense schedules that push student-athletes to their limits. Athletes have very few breaks during the season and off-seasons are a tough grind. Some athletes have to attend summer school to keep training depending on the sport. D2 : Lots of variations at this level which greatly depends on what conference you are in. Traveling distances are shorter, breaks are a little longer, and athletes are usually not required to come in the summer.

I would guess that since he received serious interest from all of those levels that they are probably a close comparison. His D2 offer was from a school in West Virginia. I have heard a lot of arguments both ways and I would say that some NAIA schools would do very well in D2 and vice versa and the same would apply at some D3 schools.
Like I said, due to the amount of interest from the levels I would say that they are all very close. These classifications you mention are not quantifiable sp by anything except a range of numbers. Some of each classification can beat some in another classification; we see it all the time. There's good football at all levels and there are some really bad teams in each class which should drop a level or two.
Basing D-I FBS as playing at range 50 to D-I FCS has teams playing at a range of 30 to 85 D2 has teams playing at a range of 20 to 70 NAIA has teams playing at a range of 8 to 58 D3 has teams playing at a range of -3 to 57 Your selection of a college or university to attend should really depend on what you want to study in school, not so much what type of football you want to play. Yes B. LynnFouts that is a much better way of explaining it. And yes, always choose the school based on academic programs you want to pursue.
It only takes a minute to sign up. Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search. I found that in the past, it was based on enrollment, but that no longer seems to be the case. Any insight is appreciated.
It took a bit of poking around on the NAIA site. There the distinction between divisions is in the amount of financial aid that the institution can award as full or partial grants. Division I is 11, Division II is 6. Aid can be full, half, or quarter scholarship awards, but the total cannot exceed the 11 or 6 when added up. So, a Division II team can give 6 full scholarships or 2 full and 8 half, or So, it would appear that individual schools will make a decision based on their athletic budgets.
Of course, the conference they are in may well make that decision for them, but that is how the NAIA views the divisions.
