Trying to find a list of Division 2 football programs

Hey everyone! I'm looking to potentially play football in college and want to find a list of all Division 2 football programs. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks for your time!

Hi there! I'd be happy to help you get started on your search for Division 2 football programs. The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) Division II is made up of colleges and universities with strong athletic programs that still maintain a focus on academics. There are more than 150 schools with football programs within this division.

While I can't list all the schools here, I can guide you to resources where you can find comprehensive lists of Division 2 football programs. The NCAA has a searchable database on their website where you can filter by sport, division, and state. Here's the link to the NCAA directory: https://www.ncaa.org/about/who-we-are/search-schools.

Another way to find a list of Division 2 football programs is to look at each athletic conference within Division II. Here are some of the key conferences in Division II:

- Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC)

- Lone Star Conference (LSC)

- Great American Conference (GAC)

- Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC)

- Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA)

- Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC)

- Gulf South Conference (GSC)

Keep in mind that the competitiveness and playing level of D2 football programs can vary quite a bit. When looking at schools, consider not only the football program but also the location, academic programs, and financial aid opportunities. Take into consideration how a school will fit you academically and socially as well as athletically. The overall fit is important for having a successful college experience both on and off the field.

Good luck in your search, and I hope you find the right Division II football program that meets your needs!
