On April 28, 2012, the college officially announced that after a year-long study, it had decided to transfer its athletics program to NCAA Division II. It was presumed they would join the newly formed Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC).[3] However, on July 24, 2012, the college announced that its application to join the NCAA was denied.
