Hey everyone, I'm looking into Indiana University East and I'm wondering what their athletics division is. Are they a D1 school or something else?
Indiana University East is part of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), not the NCAA. The NAIA is a separate athletic association from the NCAA and has its own divisions and championships.
IU East is a member of the River States Conference (RSC) within the NAIA. The school offers a variety of sports for both men and women, including basketball, soccer, cross country, track and field, tennis, golf, and volleyball.
While the level of competition in the NAIA is usually considered less intense than NCAA, especially Division I, student-athletes still have the opportunity to compete at a high level and build their skills. Moreover, it offers a more balanced focus on academics and athletics, which can be ideal for students who prioritize both aspects of their college experience.
