There are none. There are 3 divisions of NCAA Schools. Division I, II, and III. Division I has two subdivisions that until recently were labeled I-A and I-AA that are now referred to as Division I-Bowl Subdivision and Division I-Championship Subdivision. The renaming of the subdivisions described the manner of post season play.
That is the division below division I. Division one is where the top schools play while division two is for schools who don't attract many athletes or are a small school.
No. The "March Madness" NCAA tournament that is broadcast on national television is for the Division 1 championship. Equivalent tournaments and championships are held for each of the NCAA's divisions. So therefore, Division II teams would play in the Division II Tournament.
The NCAA allows each division I softball program 12 scholarships; and in division II, 7.2 scholarships are available.
Palm Beach softball is in NCAA division II
University size (student population) has no bearing on NCAA Division. For instance, Wayne State University in Michigan has over 30,000 students and Grand Valley State University in Michigan has 25,000 students. Some Division I schools have fewer than 15,000-such as Notre Dame with around 11,000. Many Division II schools, however, average around 5-10,000 students. Some only have a few hundred.
