Reasons for McKendree to join the

NCAA Division II

Our university continues to grow in every way. It is time to

take the next growth step with our athletics program.

The NCAA is a very recognizable and will help us in our

recruiting efforts for both students and student-athletes.

Based on this recognizability, NCAA membership will

enhance the credibility and also the quality across the board

of McKendree’s athletic programs as well as sport-related

majors: Physical Education, Athletic Training, and Sport

Management (under development).

NCAA membership will further promote the identity of

McKendree University in Southern Illinois.

9/8/20107 Brown Bag Seminar

Reasons for McKendree to join the

NCAA Division II continued

Membership in the NCAA will open up opportunities

for potential sponsors and advertisers.

We feel confident that membership in the NCAA will

help grow our university endowment fund and further

encourage alumni and others to participate in our

annual and capital fund-raising campaigns.

On the athletic field of competition, NCAA

membership will pit McKendree against high quality,

regional and more universally recognized institutions.
