    • Saint Francis University is making a major shift in its athletics program, announcing plans to reclassify from NCAA Division I to NCAA Division III and join the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) as its 13th full-time member.

Saint Francis University in Loretto, Pennsylvania, has announced its decision to transition its athletic programs from NCAA Division I to Division III, effective from the 2024-25 academic year. This move, approved by the university's Board of Trustees, aims to enhance the student-athlete experience by focusing on a more balanced approach to academics, athletics, and personal development. The transition will allow for a broader range of sports offerings, increased participation opportunities, and a reduction in the financial and time commitments currently required at the Division I level. The university will work with the NCAA and its current conference, the Northeast Conference, to manage the transition smoothly, ensuring that current student-athletes can complete their eligibility in Division I if they choose. This strategic shift reflects Saint Francis University's commitment to its mission of fostering well-rounded individuals who excel in all areas of life.
