Reply to "How are College Divisions Aligned?"

The following is some basics. There are waivers available. For example, Hopkins is D3 with a waiver for D1 lacrosse. 

Division I schools have to offer 14 sports. They must have men’s and women’s teams participating in the fall, winter and spring seasons. They also have to play a minimum number of games against other DI programs.

Division II schools have to offer 10 sports, and coed schools have to have 4 sports for men and 4 for women. Division schools play most often against schools in their regions.

Division III is the largest division in NCAA. The focus for all students attending Division III schools is academics. They do not provide any athletic scholarships.
