		Before the 1920s, schools considered it ungentlemanly to award scholarships based strictly on athletic ability because elite college students were supposed to play purely for the love of amateur competition.
		The NCAA's assertion that college athletes were amateurs, and therefore could not receive any money to play, was anathema in the South and Southwest, where schools loudly decried the defeat of their honored tradition of openly giving scholarships to athletes.
		When Division I schools proposed making all freshmen ineligible to eliminate debates over eligibility, smaller schools howled in protest because playing freshmen is one of the few incentives they have to attract players.

		Uncomfortable with that balance, the school’s administration decided it was more closely aligned with the Division III philosophy, which emphasizes the importance of academics before athletics.
		Division II has accomplished a lot in the past couple of years and has truly become a destination of choice for prospective student-athletes.
		The middle child for a lot of years, Division II has developed as a destination of choice for prospective student-athletes across the country and I think that has to be one of the greatest advancements in the 101 years of the NCAA.

		The findings from a two-year study of spending on college sports, touted by the NCAA as the most comprehensive of its kind, strike at the heart of conventional wisdom that bigger is better.
		Nonetheless, spending is up: Athletic operating expenses in the NCAA's top-tier Division I-A rose 62% from 1996-97 to 2000-01, compared with a 39% increase in total university spending.
		What it might do, those officials say, is give pause to schools struggling to compete in Division I-A and to others considering an upgrade to I-A. Fourteen programs have made that move in the past 12 years.

		Those coaches were upset because the NCAA was looking into the validity of hundreds of seven-inning games in early season tournaments at the Division II and III levels.
		The rules committee decided to uphold those games because it determined the schools didn't knowingly violate the NCAA rule defining a regulation game as nine innings in length and because that action would have wiped out large chunks of team records and individual statistics.
		The seven-inning contests violated the NCAA rule defining a standard game as nine innings; it allows for seven-inning games to be played only in doubleheaders (defined as games 30 minutes apart between the same two opponents) and when conference rules allow for 10-run mercy provisions.

		As our football committee has said, it is hard to see how we could achieve real competitive balance in a conference that allows schools to have teams with more than a hundred players and that at this point lacks any mechanism for enforcing the NCAA rules against awarding aid on the basis of athletic promise.
		Taken together with several non-conference schools in the Twin Cities area whom we have often scheduled in the past, I feel sure that over the next year or two we can build a terrific independent schedule.
		Many of us Division III presidents have been concerned about a kind of drift among Division III colleges toward what might be called “Division I” values – more specialization of athletes, longer seasons, more off-season practice, greater emphasis on postseason competition, and favorable admissions and financial aid practices for athletes.
