Lindenwood University makes move to Division II (AUDIO)

July 13, 2010 By Bill Pollock

Lindenwood University, out of St. Charles, MO. was notified that the school has been accepted into NCAA Division II candidacy.  Athletic Director John Creer joins me on the phone to talk about the process of moving from the NAIA to Division II and what the school will be doing to prepare for the move.

Lindenwood’s John Creer on the move to D-II

Lindenwood will remain a member of the NAIA during the first two years of its NCAA candidacy. In 2012-13, Lindenwood will enter a provisional year in the NCAA in which it must follow all NCAA regulations but will not be eligible for postseason competition. Assuming all expectations have been met, Lindenwood will become a full member of the NCAA in 2013-14.

Lindenwood plans to have 26 sports programs when it begins play at the NCAA level. These include all 21 sports that currently compete in the NAIA, as well as field hockey, women’s ice hockey, men’s and women’s lacrosse, and men’s volleyball. Every sport will compete at the NCAA Division II level except for women’s ice hockey and men’s volleyball, which will compete at the National Collegiate level, which includes NCAA Division I schools. Lindenwood’s other sports will compete at the club level.
