Saint Francis will transition to DIII and join the Presidents' Athletic Conference, with the Red Flash to continue competing in DI through 2025-26. Board of Trustees Chairman Very Rev. Joseph Lehman: “This was not an easy nor a quick decision for the Board of Trustees. The governance associated with intercollegiate athletics has always been complicated and is only growing in complexity based on realities like the transfer portal, pay-for-play, and other shifts that move athletics away from love of the game. For that reason, as a Board, we aim to best provide resources and support to our student-athletes in this changing environment that aligns with our mission, Catholic institution, and our community's expectations.” (link)
