Yes, Delaware has collegiate football. You may have heard that UD won the only NCAA Div I National Football Championship this year. And before you go on about UD copying UM's uniform, you should know that UM stole their uniform design from Princeton.

You left out one major detail. UD won the NCAA Div 1 AA
National Championship. UM and Princeton are NCAA Div 1 A schools and any comparison between them and UD is irrelevant. To put that in terms you might appreciate, that is the equivalent of calling a pitch in FP softball over the center of the plate and just above the knees, a ball.

Not to underrate the importance of the various BCS-minded football programs to the academic mission of the sponsoring institution, but the athletes at the smaller schools have a lot more in common with the student body, and are therefore actually something the institution can be proud of. Kind of like the difference between a High School softball team and a 18U Gold team that happens to use the same town name.
