ESports are NOT included in this listing.

DROPPED SPORTS

A category where schools known to have dropped athletic aid or dropped a team from a competitive championship level to a non-championship one, despite retaining the team. Example: American International demoted its Division I men's hockey program to Division II, but the NCAA does not sponsor a postseason championship in Division II, effectively killing it as a Division I sports opportunity.
