Division II, but it would still open the door wide for the possibility of other schools...
Simon Fraser University will apply for NCAA Division II membership by this year's June 1 deadline and, if approved, plans to move all its teams there by the 2011-12 season.
SFU's board of directors voted Thursday morning to support the athletic department's application to the major U.S. sporting body, which in a landslide vote in January 2008, opened its doors to Canadian schools for the first time.
"It's about our historical roots with the Pacific Northwest, and we also realize that travel within the Canada West has become quite cumbersome," said SFU athletic director Dr. David Murphy.
