NCAA DIVISION DIFFERENCES

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is the largest governing body in the American Collegiate System and is made up of 3 divisions ; Division I, Division II, and Division III.

There is often a misconception, especially internationally, that Division II is weaker than Division I, and Division III is weaker than Division II. While this is true is some circumstances, it is crucial to understand that a college’s decision whether to compete in Division I, II or III is a of a strategic nature rather than of athletic performance.

Below is a simplified table of the main components of each division. There are also different academic and athletic requirements for each, which will be determined in your free consultation.
