St. Thomas One Step Closer in Reclassification to D-1
St. Thomas heard encouraging news today in its bid to reclassify directly from Division III intercollegiate athletics to Division I. The NCAA Division I Council advanced support for legislation that clears a path for D-III athletics programs to reclassify to D-I, provided those programs meet certain criteria. Additionally, the council supported receiving a formal waiver request from St. Thomas and the Summit League athletic conference that would allow the school to begin the reclassification process sooner. This brings St. Thomas a step closer to becoming the first D-III program to make this jump in the modern NCAA era.
