The NCAA is an organization for amateur sports at college/university level. It is divided into three divisions.
In this activity, we were asked to go the official NCAA website (http://www.ncaa.org/static/mff/) and study Divisions I, II, and III. We had to note their philosophies, the number of schools that made it up, and what made each division unique.
We then had to compare and contrast the three divisions in a table.
Division I offers the most generous number of scholarships. Its focus is maintaining a high academic standard for student-athletes in addition to a wide range of opportunities for athletics participation.
Division II's goal is to compete at a high level of scholarship athletics while excelling in the classroom and fully engaging in the broader campus experience.
Division III, the largest, wants to minimize the conflicts between athletics and academics and helps student-athletes progress.
After this activity, I learned a lot about each division, and I learned how they relate, and also how they differ.
