I had to look DCC up. Located in Farmers Branch, enrollment of 336, not even regionally accredited
Where do we find these teams to play? Not even going to call them a school. Might as well play the intramural teams and generate some student interest.Quote:

Here's an article about Non-D1 games Does your school schedule too many games against non-Division I teams? - Mid-Major Madness (midmajormadness.com)
At the time of the article (2018), Northwestern State had 3 losses to Non-DI schools over 5 seasons.
All 3 of our Non-DI opponents are NAIA or NCCAA.Quote:
For games to be considered countable for statistics (including rankings and records), the following must be true:
• The institution must be a four-year, degree-granting institution and must compete as a fouryear, degree-granting institution.
• The opponent must be considered a varsity intercollegiate team as defined by NCAA bylaw 17
and must be considered countable competition as defined by NCAA bylaws 31.3.3.1 (Divisions
I and II) and 31.3.4.1.1 (Division III).
• The institution must satisfy one of the following:
o Is an active, provisional or reclassifying member of the NCAA
o Is accredited by one of the six regional accrediting bodies in the United States
> Middle States Commission on Higher Education
> New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Commission on Institutions of
Higher Education
> North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, The Higher Learning Commission
> Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities
> Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, Commission on Colleges
> Western Association of Schools and Colleges, Senior College and University Commission
o If the institution is located in Canada, it must satisfy one of the following:
> Is a member of the Universities Canada
> Is a member of the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association
> Is a member of U Sports
o Is an active or associate member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics
o Is an active or provisional member of the National Christian College Athletic Association
And our "NCCAA" opponent is in Division 2 of that elite association.
