Ralph N. Baer notes several schools as possibly non Div. I:
 
> Alaska-Anchorage, Alaska-Fairbanks, Clarkson, Duluth, Ill-Chicago,
> LSSU, Lowell, Merrimack, Michigan Tech, N. Mich, RPI, St. Cloud, St.
> Lawrence, Union, and W. Mich.
 
Well, Western Michigan is most definitely division I.  They are members of
the Mid America Conference which includes the following schools:
 
    Bowling Green     (CCHA)
    Toledo
    Akron
    Kent              (CCHA)
    Ohio
    Miami             (CCHA)
    Central Michigan
    Eastern Michigan
    Western Michigan  (CCHA)
    Ball State
 
 
Also, I don't know about all sports at the University of Ilinios at Chicago,
but they do field a Division I basketball team which shares the confines of
the Pavilion which was built in 1982.  As the story goes, the NC$$, in their
infinite wisdom, damn near precluded UIC from competing in Div. I basketball
because they did not have a large enough average home attendance in 1981.  Of
course the facility which they repalced when they built the Pavilion did not
hold a large enough crowd that they could have possibly met that criterion.
And so they were almost faced with having built a beautiful building for
basketball and hockey and then not being able to play at the top level.
