Oh. I guess all those Div 1 schools don’t have football? It’s actually much less. About 250.There's only 127 division 1 football teams, not 300 plus. There isn't as much turnover on head coaches in schools not in the top 5 conferences as you think there is because they know it's much harder to get qualified coaches to come to a smaller school.

How many Division 1 football teams are there?
There are 125 Division 1 FCS football teams and 129 FBS football teams. FCS, or the Football Championship Subdivision, comprises 14 conferences: the Big Sky, Big South, CAA, Independent, Ivy, MEAC, Missouri Valley, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot, Pioneer, Southern, Southland and SWAC conferences. FCS football teams compete in a 24-team playoff for the NCAA Division 1 Football Championship. Find the latest college football recruiting news here.
