Possibly, at Carson-Newman University, King University, Cumberland University, Freed-Hardeman University, Milligan University and 1 more. NAIA allows athletic aid with no published flag football limit. NCAA Division II: Up to 10.0 equivalency scholarships per team, which a coach can split into partial awards. A level that allows aid does not promise it, so ask each coach what the program funds.
