Division 1 - Non Football
The following Division I conferences do not sponsor football. These conferences still compete in Division I for all other sports.
Several Bowl Subdivision and Championship Subdivision conferences have member institutions that do not compete in football (such schools are sometimes unofficially referred to as I-AAA). For example, the Big East Conference, a Bowl Subdivision conference in football, has five members that do not play football at all (DePaul, Marquette, Providence, Seton Hall, and St. John's), plus an additional two members who play football in Championship Subdivision conferences (Georgetown and Villanova); conference member Notre Dame plays football as a Bowl Subdivision independent.
In addition, some schools officially affiliated with conferences that do not sponsor football do, in fact, field football teams. For example, UC Davis and Cal Poly are members of the non-football Big West Conference, but they still participate in football under the FCS Great West Conference.
