There are plenty of D3 leagues in the East and Midwest, less so in the West and South.

The one in NY dropped from D-1 in 2023.

There are just too many colleges named St Francis to keep 'em all straight. I do remember years ago that the one in Indiana and the one in New York had good basketball teams. I looked it up and there is even one in Hong Kong. I'm fairly certain that's not the one we scheduled in 2027.
