This is alist of NCAA Division I non-football programs – colleges and universities that are members ofDivision I of theNational Collegiate Athletic Association but do not sponsor varsityfootball teams. Before 2006, these schools were officially designated asDivision I–AAA. This list includes schools in the process of transitioning to Division I, but are not yet full D–I members. Somehave had football teams in the past (Y); some never have (N).

Five Division I schools compete insprint football, a variant governed separately from the NCAA that uses NCAA playing rules, but limits player weights to 178 pounds (81 kg). Four of them also field full-sized football teams; the only one that does not is Bellarmine, which is thus still considered "non-football" by the NCAA.
