Best Answer

by going to BASA, now BSA, and asking about joining the district competition. BSA may not agree, as you need a home ground, a uniform, and be willing to pay rent for your stadium, as well as fees. You will not become division 1 immediately. As a new club you need to start in the lowest division in your age group and work your way up. If you are blitzing the lower teams, you may be able to get a special request to be moved to a higher division.

Each division has requirements including: minimum number of sports sponsored, gender balance in athletics, minimum amounts of participation in competition, and limits on financial aid awards. In effect, a college decides which division to be in depending on the amount of resources it wants to allocate to athletics, but larger colleges will tend to be division I, and smaller colleges will tend to be division III.

I believe several things factor towards what division a school plays in. One i think it depends on the size like ifs a very large school good chance its a D.1 school. IT also has to do with the amount of winning seasons and if they have won a champion ship === === Division I member institutions have to sponsor at least seven sports for men and seven for women (or six for men and eight for women) with two team sports for each gender. Each playing season has to be represented by each gender as well. There are contest and participant minimums for each sport, as well as scheduling criteria. For sports other than football and Basketball, Division I schools must play 100 percent of the minimum number of contests against Division I opponents -- anything over the minimum number of games has to be 50 percent Division I. Men's and women's basketball teams have to play all but two games against Division I teams; for men, they must play one-third of all their contests in the home arena. Schools that have football are classified as Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I-A) or NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA). Football Bowl Subdivision schools are usually fairly elaborate programs. Football Bowl Subdivision teams have to meet minimum attendance requirements (average 15,000 people in actual or paid attendance per home game), which must be met once in a rolling two-year period. NCAA Football Championship Subdivision teams do not need to meet minimum attendance requirements. Division I schools must meet minimum financial aid awards for their athletics program, and there are maximum financial aid awards for each sport that a Division I school cannot exceed.

All you have to do is apply. Just because its division 1, doesn't mean its hard to get into. And if you are referring to getting into a division 1 College Football team, usually they come to you and ask you to play for them, or you have to try walk-on

When did Fairfield University become a Division I school?

The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC), of which Fairfield is a member, was recognized as a Division I conference in 1984. Technically, Fairfield is listed as Division I-AAA (a school in Division I which does not field a football team). Fairfield discontinued its football program in 2003. The MAAC discontinued football altogether in 2007. Note that the NCAA can and does assign a school to different divisions for different sports, and that they reclassify schools frequently.
