Division I Conferences

Note: In the case of the Big East and Sun Belt conferences, the football conference was formed years after the original conference was formed. The dates for the schools listed are when they joined the basketball conference (ie. Connecticut joined the Big East in 1979, but didn't join the football conference until 2004).
