VUL's request to rejoin USCAA denied

LYNCHBURG, Virginia  --  Virginia University of Lynchburg’s request to rejoin the United States Collegiate Athletic Association was denied. The decision could dramatically impact the small college, which is in the midst of a massive recruiting campaign and readying to kick off a new summer camp Sunday.

The USCAA announced Monday it would admit six new schools — Bryant & Stratton, Davis College, Illinois Institute of Technology, Great Bay Community College and Florida National University.  VUL was not included.

Matt Sims, chief operating officer of the USCAA, said in a phone message Tuesday the agency’s board of directors did not readmit VUL into the athletic association. The board met to vote on the matter last week.
