McCollum's Column: UCA’s road to Division I literally started in a hayfieldQuote:
The University of Central Arkansas is now celebrating full and active status in NCAA Division I.
On the surface, this was a tedious, deliberate, calculated, delicate, cross-all-the T’s process that, despite storms and waves and shifting currents and changes in administration, was methodically and capably completed...
When UCA submitted the initial application — frantically developed by Whitehead and his helpers, the reclassification fee was $15,000 and there was no requirement that the transitioning institution be a member of a conference.
When the moratorium ends in 2012, any institution wanting reclassification must have an official conference membership application in hand.
And the reclassification fee? One million dollars.
