Notes
  1. ↑ Despite the program's many successes, the University of New Mexico's Board of Regents, for economic reasons, voted to discontinue the men's soccer program, along with three other sports teams, after the 2018 season.[2]
  2. ↑ After the 2018–19 school year, Long Island University will merge the Division I athletic program of its Brooklyn campus with the Division II athletic program of its Post campus, creating a single Division I program that will compete under the LIU name.[3]
  3. ↑ LIU has announced that the unified men's soccer program will move to the Post campus in Brookville, New York.[3]
  4. ↑ The Blackbirds nickname will presumably be retired after the athletic merger. The new LIU nickname will be selected by alumni and students of both campuses (Brooklyn and Post).[3]
  5. ↑ The unified LIU athletic program will inherit the Northeast Conference membership of the Brooklyn campus.[3]
  6. ↑ California Baptist began a transition from Division II to Division I with the 2018–19 school year. CBU becomes a full D-I member with the 2022–23 school year.

Scheduled additions

One school is currently scheduled to add men's soccer to its athletic programs. Two other schools that currently sponsor men's soccer at the Division II level have announced that they will transition to Division I in the near future.

  • ‡ = Chicago State was expected to add men's soccer by 2014. The school eventually budgeted the sport for the 2016–17 school year. However, the ongoing State of Illinois budgetary crisis and the school's own critical financial problems have set this back once more. With the school's current financial situation and the needs of the athletic program, in April 2016, the University Budget Committee recommended that the Athletic Department "... study the benefits of being Division 1 or another division." [5]
