Hey guys! Does anyone know if Villanova has a Division 1 football team? I'm a high school football player exploring my options, and it'd be great to know this info. Thanks!
Yes, Villanova University does have a Division 1 football team! They compete in the NCAA Division 1 Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), as opposed to Division 1 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). The distinction mostly lies in the level of competition and the number of scholarships available. FCS teams tend to have fewer athletic scholarships compared to FBS teams.
Villanova's football team is a member of the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA). If you're considering Villanova and are interested in continuing football at the collegiate level, it's a good idea to get in touch with their coaching staff to learn more about their program, scholarships, and recruitment process. Best of luck!
