Not surprising. There use to be just tick over 300 Div. I schools. I’m not sure what the number is now, I think it is upwards of 325.
Look at all the publicity a “small” school can get if you have a big run in the NCAA basketball tournament. I imagine the prospect of that alone could make it worth moving to Division I.
Yeah, especially when you beat Kansas and Arkansas. Go Bucknell!
