Not even two months removed from the men's basketball program's first Division I NCAA tournament bid, the University of Hartford is heading back down the college athletics ladder.
Hartford's Board of Regents voted to drop its athletic teams from Division I to Division III on Thursday, per Alex Putterman of the Hartford Courant. The move is set to take place "no later than Sept. 1, 2025," according to Putterman.
“Intercollegiate athletics has long been an integral part of the University of Hartford student experience and that will not change,” Board of Regents chair David Gordon said in a statement.
