| | The Record - News - 01/13/2004 - RPI hockey to remain at Division I level (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16) |
 | | By a margin nearly as surprising as it was resounding - 296-106 - NCAA Division III institutions adopted an amendment that will allow RPI and seven other Division III schools that play up to the Division I level in one sport to continue offering athletic scholarships. |
 | | Division III teams are prohibited from offering financial aid to athletes under the Division III Philosophy adopted when the NCAA divided intercollegiate competition into three divisions in 1983. |
 | | Proposal 65 of the Division III reform package would have removed that waiver, so RPI, Clarkson, St. Lawrence, Colorado College, Hartwick and other affected schools took counter-measure action by putting forth Proposal 65-I. That provision, to which Jackson was a key contributor, affirms Proposal 65 but makes the waiver permanent for those exempted schools. |
