Pilot program allows some Division III athletes to compete for schools they no longer attend
The pilot program, approved on an individual basis, lets NCAA Division III athletes transfer for academics but still compete for their original schools under certain conditions.
- An NCAA pilot program allows Division III student-athletes to keep competing for their original schools while attending classes elsewhere, remaining on the original team's roster.
- The NCAA Division III Presidents Council approved a limited pilot allowing athletes attending classes on one campus to compete for their original schools, citing academic partnerships and sport-type constraints.
- The two students, both former St. Norbert athletes, are pioneers in the approved pilot and participated in postseason senior activities last year because they assumed they would lose eligibility if they transferred.
- Jim Troha, chair of the NCAA Division III Presidents Council, said the pilot recognizes academic programs and provides flexibility, while officials will assess it over the course of this next year.
- Because of roster changes earlier this year, scheduling and sport type make the pilot more feasible for individual sports like golf and tennis than for many team sports.
