This is a surprising move that doesn’t happen often in NCAA sports. The Hartford Hawks plan to file for the transition in 2022 so they can begin playing division three sports in the fall of 2025. This decision came after a year of discussion and studies that involved coaches, athletic staff, and athletes on campus. If all goes well then the Hartford Hawks will be in division three by the year 2025.
