Is Bellarmine finally making a jump up to Division I?
According to WDRB’s Eric Crawford, they’re at least talking about it internally.
“Discussions of these aims have been moving forward since Dr. Susan Donovan became the university’s fourth president two years ago,” WDRB reports. “Now, the discussions have turned to athletics. Bellarmine isn’t talking specifics. But two sources close to the university’s athletic programs say that the school is mulling a jump to the NCAA Division I level in all 22 of its varsity sports.”
When asked by Crawford about a potential jump, Bellarmine director for athletic media relations John Spugnardi declined comment, but did release a statement about a “strategic plan” the school has moving forward.
