A college or university's ability to compete in division 1 athletics does to depend on size but number of varsity sports offered. These schools must field 7 women's teams and 7 men's teams (or 8 women's and 6 men's), and at least two of these for females and males must be team sports. It goes to reason that larger schools with larger budgets dominate division 1 but there are many small schools that also compete in this "upper" division.
