Mr. Ouija can figure out the fb divisions, while Bison can figure out the bb divisions.
Technically, there are no Southern Baptist colleges or universities-the schools are all connected with state Baptist bodies, which voluntarily cooperate with the national convention. Most of these schools are not as conservative as the national convention. Some schools have a bigger Baptist tie than others..some are more conservative than others. All, however, would be to the left of Bob Jones University.
In recent years, Wake Forest, Richmond, Furman, and Stetson (among others) have cut official ties with their state Baptist conventions. They are Baptist in history and heritage only.
FWIW, all of the above schools have a football team at some level, except Mercer, Williams Baptist and Brewton-Parker.
The American Southwest Conference (Division III) has several Baptist institutions as members:
Hardin-Simmons
Howard Payne

They join non-Baptist FB schools McMurry, Austin College, Sul Ross State, and Texas Lutheran, and non-FB schools Concordia (TX), Schreiner, LeTourneau, Univ of the Ozarks (AR), UT-Dallas, and UT-Tyler.
