A little bonus material! We have looked all that D1 conferences, that is true. But there is one baseball independent this season. The Hartford Hawks are playing their last season of Division I sports. They will be reclassifying all the way down to D3 next season. You may possibly remember New Orleans seriously pondered such a move after Katrina, but ultimately decided to stay D1 and seem to have bounced back pretty nicely. Hartford didn't have a major hurricane wreck their school, so they can't blame God for this move. I couldn't really find an article about Hartford's reasons for this move, outside of "better aligning" with their mission and other meaningless corporate-speak like that. I'd imagine it's a cost-cutting measure, but I can't find definitive proof of that. You're not going to hear me maligning D3 sports, obviously, but I get why this decision upset a lot of people. I suppose I should also note that Hartford won the America East regular season and tournament titles in 2018 before they become independent. Anyway, here's Hartford's baseball stadium.
