Division III school 'involuntarily removed' from conference because it won too much
A Division III athletic conference booted one of its founding members Wednesday, apparently because the school had become too dominant across multiple sports.
The University of St. Thomas, a private school in Saint Paul, Minnesota, will have to find a new home for its sports teams beginning in 2021 after it was "involuntarily removed" from the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, according to a statement from the league.
The conference's presidents' council cited the official reason for the move as "athletic competitive parity."
