they are division 1 but they are division 1-AA which means they do not compete in the same pool of conferences as your typical division 1 school. although they may play a d-1 school, they would not qualify for the NCAA tourney like a georgia, lsu, or oklahoma.
The Pioneers play in Division 1. They play different sports in different conferences with most sports participating in the Sun Belt Conference. Click on the "Denver Pioneers' link below to read about sports at the University of Denver.
Division I non-football schools, play in conferences like the "Big West Conference", which are colloquially referred to as Division 1-AAA conferences. Large schools without a football budget (often times due to Title IX compliance) such as CSUN, fall into this category. These are typically the universities that earn the 15 and 16 seeds in the NCAA tournament, that won their respective conferences and earned automatic berths, although you've most likely never heard of them.
If you are saying just Division 1 then no, but Jim Tressel (who now coaches for Ohio State) won the Divison 2 Championship at Youngtown State and the NCAAF Championship with Ohio State.
