NCAA Division II is one of the three divisions of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in the United States. It features a balance between athletics, academics, and extracurricular activities, allowing student-athletes to compete at a high level while pursuing their education. Schools in this division often have smaller student populations compared to Division I, which fosters a more personal college experience. Athletic programs in NCAA Division II emphasize regional competition and offer scholarships to student-athletes, though typically fewer than those in Division I. This division includes a wide range of sports, promoting participation and sportsmanship among its members.
