Going to D-3 is absolutely the right move. Just because the men’s basketball team is having relative success at the moment doesn’t change that. How are all the other men’s and women’s sports there doing? If I had to guess probably not well.
5-10 years after the transition is complete nobody will care. Especially if more of their programs are competitive and reaching post season tournaments frequently.
Winning in D-3 is a lot better than being a punching bag most of the time elsewhere.

Meanwhile, instead of capitalizing on their recent success they will be set back because of this decision. What kid looking to play D1 will even give Hartford a sniff knowing they’ll be DIII?
Again, the men’s basketball program has relative success at the moment. What about the rest of the athletic dept? The school has an undergraduate enrollment around 5,000. Many of NJ’s D3 members are nearly double that amount.

About the size of Butler and Providence, and not that much smaller than than the Hall. Those Jersey D III schools, then, are 2.5 our size.
Only way a reversal of the D III decision occurs is if the president, who has overseen declining class sizes and applications during his tenure, leaves.
