The NCAA Division III Presidents’ Athletic Conference has announced plans to split into two divisions for men’s and women’s basketball, as well as women’s volleyball starting in 2025. The conference will consist of 12 schools, including the addition of Hiram, which will be returning to the league in the 2025-26 season.
