  1. ^ UALR, now branded athletically as Little Rock, fielded a football team when it was known as Little Rock Junior College.
  2. ^ Long Beach State now officially brands its athletic program as "The Beach" (or "Long Beach State Beach"), but it did not fully adopt the new branding until 2020–21, long after the demise of football.
  3. ^ Under head coach Walt Hackett, UC San Diego football went 0–7 in its first and only season in 1968.
  4. ^ The school closed before college football was aligned into divisions, but it is retroactively considered to have been a "major college" program by the NCAA.
  5. ^ In 1990, Detroit merged with Mercy College to form the University of Detroit Mercy. Despite the new institutional name, the athletic program did not adopt "Detroit Mercy" until 2017.
  6. ^ From 1965–1982, UIC was known as University of Illinois at Chicago Circle. In September 1982, UICC merged with the University of Illinois at the Medical Center, and the consolidated university was renamed the University of Illinois Chicago.[3]
  7. ^ After its consolidation with the University of Illinois at the Medical Center in 1982, students from both UICC and the Medical Center voted to change the athletic nickname to Flames.[4]
  8. ^ At the time this program was active, Long Island University consisted only of what is now the school's Brooklyn campus. LIU opened what is now known as the Post campus in 1951, and the two campuses maintained separate athletic programs until 2019. The Post campus added football in 1957, competing in the NCAA College Division; when the College Division was split into Division II and Division III in 1973, Post became part of Division II. It then spent more than a decade shuttling between Divisions II and III until aligning permanently with D-II in 1986. Post continued playing in D-II until LIU merged its two athletic programs in July 2019. Following the athletic merger, the Post football team became the new LIU football team, competing as the LIU Sharks.
  9. ^ Was known as Loyola University of Los Angeles when playing football.
  10. ^ Marquette used the "Golden Avalanche" nickname for football, though also used "Warriors" for other sports. After the demise of football, "Warriors" became the sole nickname until the current nickname of "Golden Eagles" was adopted in 1994.
  11. ^ UNCA was known as Asheville-Biltmore College when it last competed in football.
  12. ^ Was known as University of Corpus Christi when football was discontinued.
  13. ^ UTRGV traces its athletic history through the University of Texas–Pan American (UTPA), one of the two institutions that merged in 2015 to form the current university. UTPA fielded a football team when it was known as Edinburg Junior College. However, UTRGV announced in 2021 that it planned to add a football team no later than the 2025 season.
