NCAA rejects Tech application

The NCAA has rejected WVU Tech’s bid for re-admission into Division II competition.

The WVU Tech Athletic Department learned Monday that the university’s application to initiate the NCAA Division II membership process has been denied.

“Obviously we are disappointed with the result,” said Tech’s director of athletics, Frank Pergolizzi. “We’ve known all along that the NCAA Division II membership process is an extremely competitive process, as was the case again this year.

“As a department and institution, we will re-evaluate our application and use it as a tool to continue to move our programs forward and execute our strategic plan. We look forward to our continued membership and competition in the Mid-South Conference and the NAIA.”

Tech was a long-time member of the West Virginia Conference in the NCAA Division II (and before that the NAIA) ranks until the end of the 2005-06 school year.
