D1 football “would be nice,” were the words used.
And OP expressed interest in a number of schools that don’t have that.
So I’m taking it that academic/social fit and scaffolding vis-a-vis ASD are the highest priorities, and if football can be in the mix too, all the better, but OP’s own list shows that we don’t need to filter aggressively for that.
Marshall would check all of the boxes, though (academic programs, ASD support, affordability, and tons of football spirit), and it’s a slam-dunk admissions-wise, so it might be a nice safety to add.
