The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is made up of individuals with expertise in athletics such as students, athletic personnel, faculty student groups, researchers, and other stakeholders. The NCAA has various divisions with various student-athletes of varying ability levels. Divisions have special considerations for students in order to improve student performance in athletic activities. NCAA divisions include Division 1, Division, and Division 3. In most cases, D1 has the major collegiate athletic abilities and powers. Division 1 has robust budgets that meet the needs of student athletes. The division also has sophisticated, extensive and efficient facilities in ensuring the training of student athletes. The division also has scholarship programs for athletes and offers better amenities than other athletic association divisions (Bracken & National Collegiate Athletic, 2009). There are many schools, colleges and associations that are often engaged in offering intercollegiate athletic competitions. . Division II and III are also known to offer intercollegiate competition, but are less competent than Division I. Moving schools into Division I is considered; for example, D-I schools must be able to gain membership through a special conference and must demonstrate to the NCAA that they are financially capable of operating all Division I student and professional athlete programs it hosts ( National Collegiate Athletic , 2010) .Division I schools are recommended to have men's teams in at least seven athletic sports and seven women's teams in at least seven athletics...... middle of paper.......
