Typically, no. However, some NCAA sports are not sponsored at all levels. For instance, Ice Hockey is sponsored by the NCAA as a Division I sport and a Division III sport, but there is no NCAA Division II Ice Hockey.

Division II institutions that sponsor Ice Hockey can "play up" in a sport not sponsored in their division. Examples include Michigan Tech, Northern Michigan, and Lake Superior State, all of which are members of the NCAA Division II. They all sponsor NCAA Division I Ice Hockey teams.

Previously, Division II programs could play Division III Ice Hockey (such as Mercyhurst College in PA). That is no longer allowed (although Division II programs that were already in Division III Ice Hockey were allowed to stay and were not forced to move to Division I).

In other sports, such as football or Basketball, which are supported at all levels, the school must have all of their sports programs in the same division.

How many division 2 college football teams exist?

Roughly 240 NCAA D2 baseball teams spread throughout 26 conferences. The southeast/mid-south west are loaded with teams and some solid programs. The Northeast-10, which includes such nationally ranked teams as Southern New Hampshire University, Franklin Pierce University, and Southern Connecticut State University, is a very strong conference as well. The Northeast-10 is a wood-bat conference. So it's typically produces 10+ MLB draft picks every season. In 2011 alone Franklin Pierce produced four top 5 rounders and Southern New Hampshire produced 2 draft picks. SNHU is currently ranked 13th in the D2 Baseball and Pierce is 28th. Both teams should produce a combined 8+ picks alone this year with Pierce CF Jimmy Roche potentially sitting in the 3rd round.
