NCAA Division I independent schools

In American college sports, NCAA Division I independent schools are four-year institutions that do not belong to a conference for a particular sport.

There is currently one institution listed as Division I Independent in baseball:

There are no independent programs in NCAA Division I basketball as of the 2016–17 season. The last Division I basketball season to feature an independent program was the 2014–15 season, in which the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) competed as such. The Highlanders were forced into independent status in 2013 with the collapse of their former home of the Great West Conference. NJIT joined the Atlantic Sun Conference (ASUN) in 2015, leaving no basketball independents.

There are currently four NCAA Division I FBS independent schools.

Note

There is currently one NCAA Division I FCS independent school. Coastal Carolina began a two-year transition from FCS to the Football Bowl Subdivision in July 2016, when its non-football sports joined the FBS Sun Belt Conference. The Chanticleers will join Sun Belt football in 2017, with full FBS membership following in 2018.

There is currently one NCAA Division I independent in men's ice hockey. The Sun Devils moved up from club hockey in the ACHA to full varsity status. Arizona State will start playing a full Division I schedule in 2016–17, and expects to be in a hockey conference for 2017–18.

There is currently one NCAA Division I independent in women's ice hockey. The Sacred Heart Pioneers moved up from Division III (where they were a member of the ECAC East) in 2003. Its men's team plays in Atlantic Hockey, which does not sponsor women's hockey.
