Point Park has received an invite from the Mountain East (NCAA DII) to move to the NCAA starting next academic year, pending approval into the membership process. PPU President Chris Brussalis: “We will, of course, pursue this incredible opportunity by taking the next step, which is to apply for membership into the NCAA. The Mountain East is one of the most respected Division II conferences in the country and joining the NCAA would undoubtedly raise the profile of Point Park, attaching an additional layer of prominence to both our University and its athletic programs. We are pleased to provide the MEC a Pennsylvania member and to renew a number of old non-conference rivalries while significantly reducing missed class time and travel for our student-athletes.” (link)
