Lindenwood U, which our field hockey team played and beat this past season is cutting 10 sports as announced last month. Looks to be a private school with limited finances trying to jump from D.2 to D.1 and was a bit too ambitious
(At least we won't have to return that game in St. Louis !)

From the article

The university moved to NCAA Division II from NAIA in the 2013-14 school year. When the move to Division I was announced in February 2022, the university said it had used Collegiate Sports Associates to conduct an external study and internal financial analysis that demonstrated the move was a viable option.

Upon moving to D-I, the school had more than 1,400 students who participated in sports, including more than 700 in NCAA sports.

They just recently added men's hockey.

For Christmas my wife and I went to St. Louis to visit our daughter. We stayed at an Air BNB in St. Charles and, it turns out, about a half mile from Lindenwood. I had never heard of the school, but it has a decent size campus, and many of the buildings appear to be fairly new, so it looks like they're spending money. I see their endowment is about 200 million.
