- Northeastern Illinois University played 8 seasons as D-I member, in the ECC and Mid-Con, from 1991-1998. They dropped all intercollegiate athletics.

- Brooklyn College (CUNY) was also a D-I member (1934-39 and 1983-92) and reclassified to D-III.

- Utica College played 6 seasons in Division I (1982-87) and reclassified to D-III.

- Alliant University (1982-1991) - formerly known as U.S. International University in San Diego. They have dropped athletics.

- Armstrong State University (1987) - The Pirates from Savannah, Georgia played just one season at the highest level and now compete in Division II.

- Cal State Los Angeles (1971-75) - The Golden Eagles currently play in D-II.

- Gettysburg played from 1954 through the 1974 season in the D-I Mid-Atlantic Conference.
