[edit]NCAA Division 1 teams that have college football teams but no soccer teams
[edit]Are there any NCAA Division 1 teams that have college football teams but do not have any college soccer teams? If so, did they have a soccer program at one point then phased it out, or did they never had any to begin with? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:05, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
- It appears that there are 254 DI football teams (list here: [1]) and only 205 DI men's soccer teams (list here: [2]). There are 333 DI women's soccer teams. Rmhermen (talk) 00:45, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
- Just to clarify as well; not all of the DI institutions that sponsor either men's or women's soccer also sponsor men's football, so subtracting the two numbers will not necessarily give the correct number of schools that sponsors one of the sports, but not the other. Someone would need to go through all three lists and count such schools individually to get a number. --Jayron32 13:30, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
- For example, the Boston University Terriers have soccer but not football. --←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 03:00, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
