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 team roster and practicing.
- The NCAA Division III Presidents Council approved a limited pilot allowing athletes to compete for their original schools after transferring, enabled by an academic partnership and eligibility rules.
- Cora Anderson, student-athlete, and Madison DeCleene, student-athlete, are pioneers who spent two years at St. Norbert and joined senior postseason activities as sophomores last year.
- Jim Troha, chair of the NCAA Division III Presidents Council, said the pilot recognizes academic programs and provides flexibility, and 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 than many team sports.
