Northern Kentucky is looking to make the move to Division I... prefers Horizon League or Ohio Valley invite...
Northern Kentucky University's president says it's time to make the move the NCAA Division One. That's what Doctor James Votruba said during his annual spring convocation today. The decision is up to the Board of Regents, but he thinks it would be good for the school, both athletically and academically.
Joe Webb was there for the announcement.
It's been talked about for years and rumored for months that today would be a full-blown announcement complete with a conference affiliation. It wasn't that, but the head man at Northern made it clear, he thinks it's time to make the move. Dr. James Votruba lifted the wage freeze for NKU faculty and staff today. He also lifted the veil on work underway to take Northern sports from NCAA Division Two to Division One.
Dr. James Votruba, NKU President: "There's a moratorium on D-One that will be lifted this fall and we expect to proceed."
