DURHAM, NC -- North Carolina Central University's eight-year trek to Division I status in athletics has almost reached the finish line. The university found out earlier this spring that the NCAA -- the governing body for intercollegiate athletics -- had certified the school's athletic programs "without conditions." The NCAA could have accredited the programs with certain conditions.
At the beginning of this month, NCCU submitted its final strategic plan and annual athletics report to a subcommittee of the NCAA's advisory council. The subcommittee reviewed the strategic plan last week and the full committee will make a decision on whether to forward to the Leadership Council by the end of the month.
The council -- the last necessary vote -- should give final approval to the move by August.
"We should know very shortly," athletics director Ingrid Wicker-McCree told the university's Board of Trustees Tuesday. "Everything has gone well so far and we just have this last step to go through."
