This is a List of NCAA Division I non-football programs- colleges and universities that are members of Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association but do not sponsor varsity football teams. Some have had football teams in the past (Green tickY); some never have (Red XN). For 2015, East Tennessee State University re-instituted its program and Kennesaw State University started a new one, with both schools now moved to the Football Championship Subdivision.
