NCAA Division II

NCAA Division II is one of the three main divisions of college athletics in the United States, governed by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). It includes colleges and universities that compete in various sports, emphasizing a balance between athletics, academics, and extracurricular activities. Division II institutions offer scholarships to student-athletes, but fewer than Division I schools. The focus is on providing a competitive environment while encouraging athletes to pursue their education fully, often resulting in a more manageable schedule that allows for a well-rounded college experience.
