I wonder what the legal ramifications are for 2021 athletes that signed NLI’s only to have the athletic department move from D1 to D3. Hartford might have to honor the scholarship for a year, I’d think.

edited to add: I doubt Baseball or Softball gave out too many scholarships at Hartford, but I’m sure Basketball and women’s volleyball gave out some.

This move is particularly disappointing for the men’s Basketball team, which made the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 2021.

Every sport is moving to D3 at Hartford, not just one or two teams.
