There's a new university moving all 20 of their sports up to the highest level in college, Division I, and that is the University of New Haven. They are moving to the Northeast Conference, a good Division I mid-major conference with a lot of opportunities. So if you're a high school athlete trying to play at the next level, don't ignore schools like New Haven or other Division I mid-major schools out there. There's 230 Division I mid-majors where there's only 70 Power 4 schools, and they get all the limelight— the SEC, the ACC, the Big Ten, and Big 12. And super shiny and sexy, but there's downsides as far as opportunities, right? Where there's massive amount of opportunities at the Division I, mid-major level, and DII, and DIII, JUCO, and NAIA. So don't pass up this, especially if you want to continue your career and get a great education.
