The Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) is an NCAA Division III collegiate athletic conference in the Mid-Atlantic United States.
 There are currently twelve full member institutions as of 2017.
 The conference's membership, as with most Middle Atlantic conferences, has been shaken up as a result of the formation of the Landmark Conference and its ensuing domino effect.
 The conference, founded in 1992 as the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference, changed its name in 2008.
The Bates Bobcats are the athletic teams of Bates College.
 The college's official mascot is the bobcat, and official color is garnet.
 The school sponsors 32 varsity sports (16 men's, 16 women's), most of which compete in the Division III New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC).
 The school's men's and women's ski teams and men's and women's squash teams compete in Division I.
 Bates has rivalries with Princeton in Squash and Dartmouth in Skiing and selected hockey bouts.
 The college also competes with its Maine rivals Bowdoin and Colby in the Colby-Bates-Bowdoin Consortium (CBB).
 This is one of the oldest football rivalries in the United States.
 This consortium is a series of historically highly competitive football games ending in the championship game between the three schools.
 Bates has won this championship at total of twelve times including 2014, 2015, and in 2016 beat Bowdoin 24–7 after their 21–19 abroad victory over Colby.
 Bates is currently the holder of the winning streak, and has the record for biggest victory in the athletic conference with a 51-0 shutout of Colby College.
 The three colleges also contest the Colby-Bates-Bowdoin Chase Regatta.
 The college is the all-time leader of the Chase Regatta with a total of 14 composite wins, followed by Colby's 5 wins, concluded with Bowdoin's 2 wins.
The Maroons are the intercollegiate sports teams of the University of Chicago.
 They are named after the color maroon.
 Team colors are maroon and gray, and the Phoenix is their mascot.
 They now compete in the NCAA Division III, mostly as members of the University Athletic Association.
 The University of Chicago helped found the Big Ten Conference in 1895; although it dropped football in 1939 (as inconsistent with its academic vision), its other teams remained members until 1946.
 Football returned as a club sport in 1963, as a varsity sport in 1969, and began competing independently in Division III in 1973.
 The school was part of the Midwest Collegiate Athletic Conference from 1976 to 1987, and its football team has joined the Midwest Collegiate Athletic Conference's successor, the Midwest Conference, as of the 2017 season.
 Stagg Field is the home stadium for the re-instated football team.
Anna Maria College participates in 13 intercollegiate sports at the NCAA Division III level.
 Twelve of Anna Maria's teams are members of the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC), while football plays in the Eastern Collegiate Football Conference (ECFC).
 The AMCATS name is derived from the acronym "Anna Maria College Athletic Team Sports".
As of the 2011-2012 season, there were 49 teams competing in NCAA Division III women’s hockey in five conferences.
 In addition, there were three colleges who are not in Division III who compete primarily against Division 3 schools (and participate in a Division III conference), bringing the total number of teams competing in regular season play to 52 schools (there is one Division 1 team, and two Division 2 teams who play predominantly Division 3 schedules).
 Many NCAA Division III schools are smaller than NCAA Division 1 colleges, though size is not the determining factor.
 There is a mix of private colleges and public colleges (and universities) among the NCAA Division III schools.
 Some women student-athletes play two sports in NCAA Division III, though it remains a challenge to mix hockey and another sport because as a winter sport, hockey will still overlap with a fall or spring sport.
The Catholic University Cardinals football team represents The Catholic University of America in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III college football competition as a member of the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference.
 The team played its first game in 1895 and was a major college team in the first half of the 20th century, into the 1940s.
 The football program was put on hiatus during World War II, and then discontinued shortly afterwards.
 In 1965, football returned to the university at the club level, and, in 1977, re-entered NCAA competition as part of Division III.
 The Cardinals have participated in the Division III playoffs three times in the late 1990s and have secured two ODAC championships.
 The head coach is Mike Gutelius.
The Lake Erie Storm are the athletic teams that represent Lake Erie College, located in Painesville, Ohio, in NCAA Division II intercollegiate sporting competitions.
 The Storm compete as members of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC), although Lake Erie will move its varsity sports to the Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC) in 2017.
 Lake Erie College was a member of the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) of Division III through the 2007–08 academic year but completed the process of moving to Division II at the conclusion of the 2008–2009 academic year.
NCAA Division III independents are four-year institutions that compete in college athletics at the NCAA’s Division III level, but do so independently of an established athletic conference.
 These same institutions often compete as members of an intercollegiate athletic conference in some sports.
 The reason for independent status varies among institutions, but it is frequently because the primary athletic conference to which the institution belongs does not sponsor a particular sport.
 Independent programs for Division III:
The Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) is an intercollegiate athletic conference affiliated with the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III.
 Member institutions are located in New England in the states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

 Some teams compete at Division III either as members of the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference or independently.
