University size (student population) has no bearing on NCAA Division. For instance, Wayne State University in Michigan has over 30,000 students and Grand Valley State University in Michigan has 25,000 students. Some Division I schools have fewer than 15,000-such as Notre Dame with around 11,000.
Many Division II schools, however, average around 5-10,000 students. Some only have a few hundred.

Can a college have both Division I and Division II sports teams?
Typically, no. However, some NCAA sports are not sponsored at all levels. For instance, Ice Hockey is sponsored by the NCAA as a Division I sport and a Division III sport, but there is no NCAA Division II Ice Hockey. Division II institutions that sponsor Ice Hockey can "play up" in a sport not sponsored in their division. Examples include Michigan Tech, Northern Michigan, and Lake Superior State, all of which are members of the NCAA Division II. They all sponsor NCAA Division I Ice Hockey teams. Previously, Division II programs could play Division III Ice Hockey (such as Mercyhurst College in PA). That is no longer allowed (although Division II programs that were already in Division III Ice Hockey were allowed to stay and were not forced to move to Division I). In other sports, such as football or basketball, which are supported at all levels, the school must have all of their sports programs in the same division.
