What's New in 2023??

[d3ma]

I know there used to be an article created for d3soccer.com that tracked changes to the d3 mens soccer population. I am always intrigued by this and was wondering if people could chime in with things that they know are new for the landscape this season! I am a mid-atlantic guy and know some things from around the area but really could use help figuring out what else happened around the country!

New in 2023
Lycoming & Wilkes have joined the Landmark Conference from the MAC
The Landmark has gone to a paywall to watch their games
Lebanon Valley moved from the MAC-Commonwealth to the MAC-Freedom (to even the MAC conferences after Lyco & Wilkes departure)

The United East & Colonial States conferences have merged. As far as I know this means one less AQ for the tourney. The UEC & CSAC will compete as two seperate divisions this season where the winner of each division's playoffs will play a final conference championship game for the AQ spot.
In that conference, Notre Dame (Md.) has become a Co-Ed school and started a soccer program competing in this merged conference.

Hartford has dropped from Division 1 and is now reclassifying as Division 3. I believe they are not eligible for postseason play but I could be wrong in that statement.

Cazenovia shut their doors at the conclusion of the 22/23 season. The NAC will compete in 2023 with two divisions of 7 schools.
Medaille also closed this summer. The Empire 8 will compete in 2023 with a 9 team conference.

Not for this season but a note for the future: Cabrini has announced that this will be their last season and the AEC has announced that Pratt will join the conference in the 24/25 season.

This is all that I know of so far, chime in if you know of anything else that happened around the nation! Also, if I said anythign incorrect please correct me!
