Anyone know if the sports at UMaine are D1? I'm especially interested in their basketball program. Any current or former students, or even just sports enthusiasts who know about the athletic scene out there?
Yes, the University of Maine (often referred to as UMaine) participates in NCAA Division I for all of its sports, including men's and women's basketball. UMaine is a part of the America East Conference which is primarily composed of universities in the Northeastern United States.
The men's and women's basketball teams play at the Harold Alfond Sports Arena which seats over 5,700 spectators making it a great venue for game days.
