''Source:''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NCAA Sports Sponsorship )〕 The main reason for Divisions II and III schools to be competing in Division I is that certain sports have either only a single division or only Divisions I and III. As a result of this, there are some DII and III conferences with a conference championship in a sport that has only one or two NCAA divisions (i.e. bowling, men's volleyball). Some schools, however, have opted to compete in a sport at a higher level and are allowed to do so by the NCAA under certain circumstances. First, schools in Divisions II and III are allowed to classify one men's sport and one women's sport as Division I (except for football and basketball), provided that they were sponsoring said sports at Division I level prior to 2011. In addition to this, a lower-division school may compete as a Division I member in a given sport if the NCAA does not sponsor a championship in that sport for the school's own division. Division II schools may award scholarships and operate under Division I rules in their Division I sports. Division III schools cannot award scholarships in their Division I sports (except as noted below), but can operate under most Division I rules in those sports. While many of the lower division schools playing with the "big schools" are frequently heavily outclassed, others not only compete successfully, but are among the elite programs in their sport (i.e. Alaska-Fairbanks in rifle, Johns Hopkins in men's lacrosse, Minnesota-Duluth in both men's and women's ice hockey). Six Division III members are allowed to award athletic scholarships in their Division I sports—a practice otherwise not allowed for Division III schools. All of these schools sponsored a men's sport in the NCAA University Division, the predecessor to today's Division I, before the NCAA adopted its current three-division setup in 1974–75. At that time, the NCAA did not sponsor championships in women's sports. Today, these schools, often called "grandfathered", are allowed to award scholarships in the one originally grandfathered sport, plus one women's sport. ;Notes * Under current NCAA rules, bowling and equestrian are women's sports; wrestling is a men's sport; rifle is technically a men's sport, but schools can field men's, women's, and/or mixed teams; fencing and skiing are coed sports with teams having men's and women's squads. * Future conference affiliations indicated in this article will take effect on July 1 of the stated year. In the case of spring sports, the first year of competition will take place in the calendar year after the conference move becomes official. * Equestrian was first listed by the NCAA as an "emerging sport" in 2002. As such, it was required to reach 40 participating programs within ten years. At the end of the ten years, there were only 23 participating schools, but, since several of those schools were recent additions, the sport was allowed to continue as an "emerging sport," and the committee asked the National Collegiate Equestrian Association to develop a plan for achieving the required 40 school membership. When there were still only 23 sponsoring schools in August of 2014, the NCAA Committee on Women’s Athletics recommended to the Division I Leadership Council and the Division II Management Council that the sport be dropped. Since the recommendation, equestrian supporters have rallied, and the number of sponsoring schools has risen to 36, including 4 in Division II and 13 in Division III. Discontinuation of NCAA sponsorship remains a possibility, perhaps as early as August 1, 2017. ==D-II== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of non-NCAA Division I schools competing in NCAA Division I sports」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
