They are all MCLA club teams. Big D1 schools do not field d3 teams. Just club. That is why Virginia Tech does not have a lacrosse team

NP here, and my son is looking for the same thing as OP. he wants to play D3 lacrosse, and have the experience of being at a school with big time football, but not actually play football. He is good at both sports, but he is realistic that he is no Jordan Faison.
As far as I know, there is no such school, so he will be looking at places like Boston College, Virginia Tech, SEC schools, that have competitive club lacrosse.
Honestly I don't think that NCAA structure would allow a school to have both D3 lacrosse and D1 football. but if there is such a program, I would love to hear about it.

NCAA rules require universities that play D1 to maintain a minimum of 16 D1 teams. Schools like Johns Hopkins have a waiver to compete at D1 (mens & womens) when all of their other sports are DIII.

Club lacrosse in the SEC, old PAC12, and Non lacrosse playing Big 10 & ACC schools is very competitive.

Correct. About 15 years ago, the NCAA tried to require you to be all in or all out for D1. Hopkins along with a couple of other schools that are primarily D3 sports but have a D1 program (Union college for hockey) fought it and were grandfathered in but no other schools can make that move now.

As a note, most B1G and ACC schools (regardless if they offer DI lax) have club lax programs.
