List of NCAA Division I Athletic Directors - By State

By State

Notes:

• For the purposes of this list, schools that have announced that they are transitioning to FBS are included as FBS schools and indicated in italics. In July 2011, four schools started FBS transitions—South Alabama, Massachusetts, Texas State, and UTSA. All will become full FBS members in 2013. In 2012, Georgia State began the FBS transition, and will be a full FBS member in 2013. In 2013, Charlotte and Old Dominion begin the FBS transition, and become full FBS members in 2015.
• The terms "scholarship" and "non-scholarship" specifically refer to the football programs of FCS schools. Non-scholarship FCS programs are found in the following conferences:
  • The Ivy League, which prohibits its members from awarding athletic scholarships in any sport.
  • The Patriot League, an all-sports conference that previously prohibited its members from awarding football scholarships, but allows them in other sports. Football scholarships will be available beginning with the 2013 recruiting class. (Army and Navy are full members of the Patriot League except in football, playing FBS football as independents, and all of their students receive full scholarships paid for by the U.S. government.) Fordham is a football-only member of the conference, began offering scholarships in 2010, and are currently ineligible for conference tournament play.
  • The Pioneer Football League, a football-only conference whose members all offer scholarships in other sports but choose not to take on the expense of a scholarship football program.
