While NYU currently is a good fit for the UAA conference in D3, I think the trends indicate that it will eventually move up to D1 in at least one sport. The NCAA Multidivision Classification rule allows D3 schools in compete in one D1 sport, such as Union in hockey and Johns Hopkins in lacrosse.

Over the past 5 decades, NYU has achieved remarkable progress in evolving into one of the nation’s elite universities. To illustrate this point, let’s examine how it has progressed in the quality of its student enrollment in the past decade. In spring of 2015 for class of 2019, NYU received 60,030 applicants with an acceptance rate of 30.7%. In spring of 2025 for class of 2029, NYU received over 120,000 applicants with an acceptance rate of only 7.7%. This is the nation’s most significant improvement.

While NYU's movement up to at least one D1 sport may not happen soon, it only is a matter of time before one of NYU’s billionaire alumni help the university further upgrade its athletic program in line with its rapid improvements in its academic standing.

But can't see the administration wanting to do that in any sport. That alum won't ever get to present his/her plan, he/she will be convinced that having a new residence hall named after them would be a better investment.
