I really want to play football in college and I'm considering Yale, but I'm not sure if their football team is in Division 1. Can someone confirm this for me, pls? Thanks in advance!
Yes, Yale's football team is Division 1! They compete in the Ivy League, which is part of the NCAA Division 1 Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). The FCS is a notch below the more widely publicized Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) but still offers a high level of competition. While Ivy League football teams do not participate in the FCS playoffs, the league's teams focus on playing competitive games within the conference and maintaining the student-athlete balance. So, if you're interested in playing football at Yale, you'd be competing at the D1 level while also benefiting from a top-notch academic experience. Good luck!
