Great news and a long time coming for something they should have done a decade or so ago...
Le Moyne College will jump to NCAA Division I athletics starting this fall:
https://www.syracuse.com/sports/2023...this-fall.html
It is a nice campus in a nice area of town and close to plenty of shopping as well in the Erie Boulevard East corridor.
Good business school and has some other solid academic programs as well.
Its Baseball, both Lacrosse and I'd even say both Basketball programs should be at least competitive right away.
The conference they are joining:

I'd also suggest that they could host some Basketball games at the War Memorial Arena or even see if they could put the NEC Tournament there as an option in the future for a one location post season tournament(the NEC currently hosts at the higher seeds home court for their post season tournament).

There is also the SRC Arena on the campus of Onondaga Community College as an option as well and it is a county facility:
