Cedarville University announces move to NCAA Division II
Cedarville University held a news conference Monday afternoon to announce its intent to move from NAIA Division II to NCAA Division II.
The school will submit its application for membership to the NCAA no later than June 1, 2009.
If the application is accepted, Cedarville will remain active in NAIA and the American Mideast Conference in the 2009-10 and 2010-11 school years. In 2011-12, it would drop its NAIA affiliation.
At this point, it is unknown what it’s conference affiliation will be in that third year. The hope is that enough schools from the current AMC will have made the switch to NCAA or have planned to make the switch that a new conference will be formed from those schools.
Urbana University and Ohio Dominican are already in the process of moving to the NCAA. Malone and Walsh announced earlier this year they will make the switch, and Notre Dame College also announced Monday their plans to move to NCAA Division II.
Cedarville is a charter member of the AMC, which formed in 1949 as the Mid-Ohio League. It has been a member of the NAIA since 1952.
