A school earns the D1 designation based on their enrolled student population, number of college athletes, and the amount of money they provide in scholarships. The NCAA divides colleges up into three divisions, allowing for similarly-sized schools to play one another in sports. D1 is considered the top-tier, inviting the most national and international news coverage of sporting events, although athletes and programs from the other divisions do make it into the professional sports leagues.
