Current revision

NCAA Division III independents are four-year institutions that compete in college football at the NCAA’s Division III level, but do so independently of an established College Athletic Conference. These same institutions often compete as members of an intercollegiate athletic conference in other sports. The reason for independent status in football varies among instutions, but it is frequently because the primary athletic conference to which the institution belongs does not sponsor football. There are also Universities that Compete as "dual status schools." Univeristies such as California State University East Bay located in Hayward, Ca compete as an NAIA school in sports such as basketball, baseball and softball while competing as an NCAA division III school in soccer and water polo.
