At one time, the NCAA allowed schools to compete at different levels in different sports, but this is no longer permitted -- except for a handful of schools that were "grandfathered" in when the policy changed.

Perhaps the most conspicuous example is Johns Hopkins, which competes at the D3 level in most sports, but plays men's and women's lacrosse at the D1 level. In fact, JHU lacrosse is not just D1, they play in the ūber-D1 Big Ten Conference.

Unfortunately, this sort of D1/D3 split is no longer allowed, although it works for JHU and could potentially work for Ivies. So unless the NCAA revises its policies again, moving football to D3 would imply moving all other sports to D3 as well.
