In general, NAIA Division 1 schools have larger athletic programs with more resources and higher levels of competition compared to Division 2 schools. Division 1 schools may offer more athletic scholarships and have higher standards for student-athletes. Division 2 schools typically have smaller athletic programs with fewer resources and may offer fewer athletic scholarships. Student-athletes at both levels have opportunities to compete at a high level and pursue their athletic goals, but the level of competition and resources available may vary between Division 1 and Division 2 schools.

Divisionized Schools are ranked through athletic curriculars and a school's team sport skill. Division 1 HIGH SCHOOLS are known to be the best in their athletic abilities and are put in that division only by the state's permission. (Ex. Jesuit High School in New Orleans, LA is Division 1 in soccer and has since 1984 because they recruited soccer players from around the world who played international soccer.) In COLLEGE, Division 1 athletics is mainly the size of the college in population. LSU, OHIO STATE, FLORIDA STATE, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, and UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN are Division 1 colleges because they are some of the biggest Universities in the country.
NCAA division 1 AA (or FCS) is a designation given only to college football programs. The vast majority, if not all, of the schools with football teams that play in division 1 AA have athletic teams that compete in Division 1 for other sports. Because cross country is a mainstream sport at the high school and college level, it seems fair to assume that almost all of these schools have cross country programs.
