"D3 sports are focused on the student-athlete experience (in contrast to the fan experience)...... " The students /athletes don't have a problem being in Div. 1, it's the fans. Division 1 schools offer many more sports than just basketball. Students sued when the University of Hartford announced they were transitioning from Div. 1 to Div. 3.
