EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
Channel
Islands’
(CI)
conclusions
in
2006
regarding
intercollegiate
athletics
are
still
viable.
The
best
fit
for
the
university
remains
NCAA
Division
II,
as
a
member
of
the
California
Collegiate
Athletic
Association
(CCAA).
Three
approaches
could
be
used:
1. Begin
11
sports
at
once
beginning
2017-‐18,
apply
to
join
NCAA
Division
II
in
February,
2019.
Achieve
full
active
NCAA
membership
status
by
fall,
2022.
2. Use
a
phase-‐in
approach,
with
an
accelerated
timeline
for
bypassing
membership
in
the
National
Association
for
Intercollegiate
Athletics
(NAIA).
Begin
11
sports
over
a
two
year
period,
apply
to
join
NCAA
Division
II
in
February,
2020.
Achieve
full
active
NCAA
membership
status
by
fall,
2023.
3. Phase
sports
sponsorship
over
a
number
of
years,
and
join
the
NAIA
as
an
independent
member,
followed
by
a
four-‐year
transition
to
NCAA
Division
II
and
the
CCAA.
The
entire
process
could
require
8-‐10
years
to
complete.
All
options
are
viable,
depending
on
factors
such
as
funding
and
facilities.
Another
consideration
is
how
long
the
window
of
opportunity
for
NCAA
Division
II
membership
will
remain
open
and
what
the
standards
will
be.
The
Division
II
Membership
Committee
has
made
it
clear
that
standards
for
being
admitted
into
the
process
will
continue
to
become
more
stringent
and
that
growth
will
be
limited
by
the
resources
available
to
Division
II.
In
addition,
while
the
CCAA
is
interested
in
CI
joining
the
conference,
how
long
this
opportunity
will
be
available
to
CI
is
also
unknown.
National
Affiliation
Affiliation
with
the
National
Collegiate
Athletic
Association
(NCAA)
Division
II
would
align
Channel
Islands
with
other
California
State
Universities
and
with
the
recognizable
NCAA
brand.
Institutions
typically
report
that
they
have
greater
regional
name
recognition
as
a
result
of
NCAA
membership
and
prospective
students
and
student-‐athletes
seem
to
equate
NCAA
membership
with
some
level
of
institutional
prestige.
If
CI
were
to
begin
its
athletics
program
as
a
member
of
the
NAIA,
the
affiliation
should
be
viewed
as
a
‘place
holder’
as
the
university
prepares
to
meet
NCAA
requirements.
The
NAIA’s
Champions
of
Character
programming
and
simpler
rules
compliance
requirements
make
it
an
attractive
option
for
small
start-‐up
programs.
Also,
immediate
access
to
post-‐season
play
would
provide
championship
opportunities
for
Channel
Islands
student-‐athletes
that
would
remain
unavailable
for
three
years
were
the
university
to
move
directly
to
NCAA
Division
II.
In
an
NCAA
Division
II
environment,
student-‐athletes
would
benefit
from
more
study
time
and
less
time
on
the
field
than
is
typical
in
an
NAIA
environment.
If
CI
were
to
choose
to
move
directly
to
NCAA
Division
II,
the
university
should
expect
to
see
better
academic
performance
by
student-‐athletes
than
by
general
students
as
a
result
of
more
stringent
NCAA
academic
requirements.

approach,
Division
II
presidents
are
able
to

eligibility,
recruiting
and
playing
and
practice
season
rules
to
improve
academic
success.
Conference
Affiliation
When
considering
options
for
conference
affiliation,
Channel
Islands
should
take
into
account
that
its
NAIA
conference
options
are
very
limited.
The
Golden
State
Conference
(GSAC)
is
one
of
the
NAIA’s
strongest
and
most
stable
conferences,
but
it
is
comprised
of
small,
faith-‐based
private
schools.
Based
on
its
current
make-‐up,
it
is
unlikely
to
be
interested
in
CI
as
a
conference
member.
The
other
NAIA
conference
in
California,
the
California
Pacific
Conference
(Cal
Pac),
is
based
in
the
San
Francisco
bay
area.
It
has
public
institutions
as
members
but
no
members
in
Southern
California.
The
third
option,
taken
by
CSU
San
Marcos
when
it
began
its
sports
program
over
a
decade
ago,
is
to
join
the
Association
of
Independent
Institutions
(A.I.I.),
a
conference
that
is
made
up
of
22
independent
NAIA
institutions,
18
of
which
are
full
members
and
four
of
which
are
associate
or
provisional
members.
None
of
the
conference
options
is
particularly
desirable,
but
some
affiliation
will
be
necessary
should
CI
choose
the
transitional
approach.
The
California
Collegiate
Athletic
Association
has
already
expressed
an
interest
in
CI
and
is
the
NCAA
conference
that
is
the
most
logical
for
CI,
both
in
terms
of
geography
and
type
of
institution.
It
is
currently
comprised
of
12
California
State
University
members
and
one
University
of
California
member.
California
State
University
San
Marcos
was
recently
accepted
into
the
NCAA
Division
II
membership
process
and
is
on
schedule
to
become
a
full
active
member
in
2017-‐18.
The
CCAA
currently
sponsors
championship
competition
in
all
the
sports
Channel
Islands
is
interested
in
offering.
BACKGROUND
California
State
University
Channel
Islands
(CI),
founded
in
2002
with
an
enrollment
of
1320
during
its
inaugural
year,
is
the
youngest
of
the
23
California
State
University
campuses.
By
fall
2013
enrollment
grew
to
5080
students
and
in
fall
2014
enrollment
was
over
5800.
In
2003,
CI
began
exploring
the
possibility
of
beginning
a
recreation,
intramural
and
intercollegiate
athletics
program.
Since
that
time,
several
attempts
have
been
made
at
gathering
information
related
to
the
structure
and
potential
cost
of
an
intercollegiate
athletics
program
at
CI,
including
what
sports
should
be
offered
and
what
is
the
optimal
conference
and
national
affiliation
for
intercollegiate
athletics.
A
comprehensive
report
was
drafted
by
Dr.
Wm.
Gregory
Sawyer,
Vice-‐President
for
Student
Affairs,
in
2003
that
included
a
Mission
Statement
for
Intercollegiate
Athletics
as
well
as
a
listing
of
“traditional
sports”,
meaning
those
sports
offered
at
other
institutions
against
which
CI
may
compete.
The
report
included
an
overview
of
both
the
National
Association
for
Intercollegiate
Athletics
(NAIA)
and
the
National
Collegiate
Athletic
Association
(NCAA)
as
potential
national
affiliations
for
CI’s
intercollegiate
athletics
program.

The
2003
report
was
followed
by
the
appointment
of
a
committee
to
assist
in
the
design
of
an
athletics
program
for
CI.
The
university
engaged
the
services
of
Dr.
Cedric
Dempsey
in
June
2005
to
work
with
CI’s
Athletics
Advisory
Committee.
The
Committee’s
report,
which
was
published
in
2006,
included
the
following
recommendations:
Ø That
Division
II
is
the
best
level
of
competition
for
CI
in
the
next
decade.
Ø That
CI
submit
an
application
to
the
California
Collegiate
Athletic
Association,
noting
that
the
CCAA
is
comprised
of
primarily
sister
CSU
institutions.
Ø That
while
intercollegiate
athletics,
club
sports,
intramural
and
recreational
programs
should
be
administered
by
the
director
of
athletics,
there
should
be
separate
budgets
for
intercollegiate
athletics
and
for
the
other
programs.
Ø That
the
intercollegiate
athletics
program
consist
of
the
following
sports
[Note:
A
2014-‐18
Financial
Plan
developed
by
CI
in
2013
includes
all
of
the
sports
below
with
the
exception
of
tennis]:
o Women’s
individual
sports
(in
order
of
priority):
Tennis,
Cross
Country,
Golf
o Women’s
team
sports
(in
order
of
priority):
Soccer,
Volleyball,
Basketball,
Softball
o Men’s
individual
sports
(in
order
of
priority):
Golf,
Cross
Country,
Tennis
o Men’s
team
sports
(in
order
of
priority):
Soccer,
Basketball,
Baseball
Ø That
a
master
plan
for
intercollegiate
athletics
facilities
and
recreational
facilities
for
all
students
should
be
developed
in
the
immediate
future.
Ø That
the
Director
of
Athletics
report
to
the
Vice
President
for
Student
Affairs
on
daily
operational
issues
and
to
the
President
on
policy
matters.
The
structure
also
included
the
appointment
of
a
Senior
Woman
Administrator
(SWA).
Discussion
about
starting
an
intercollegiate
athletics
program
has
continued
since
the
2006
report
and
in
2013
a
Research
Group
was
appointed
to
assist
with
presenting
alternatives
for
starting
an
intercollegiate
athletics
program.
The
group
reviewed
national
and
conference
affiliation
options
and
discussed
the
benefits
of
starting
as
a
member
of
the
NAIA
before
moving
to
the
NCAA.
To
assist
with
consideration
of
its
options,
CI
engaged
the
services
of
Strategic
Edge
Athletic
Consulting,
LLC
(Strategic
Edge)
to
present
two
models
–
1)
Beginning
as
a
member
of
the
NAIA
and
after
a
period
of
time
applying
for
NCAA
Division
II
membership
and
2)
Making
application
for
membership
in
NCAA
Division
II
without
having
been
a
member
of
the
NAIA.
SCOPE
OF
STUDY
Given
the
options
CI
is
considering,
it
is
important
to
understand
the
differences
between
the
NAIA
and
the
NCAA
and
the
context
for
each.
This
three-‐part
report
consists
of
comparative
information
the
university
can
use
in
its
assessment
of
the
NAIA
and
the
conference
options
available
compared
with
NCAA
Division
II
and
the
California
Collegiate
Athletic
Association.
Section
One
includes
programmatic
implications
of
membership
in
the
NAIA
when
compared
with
membership
in
NCAA
Division
II.
Section
Two
presents
timelines
and
requirements
for
CI
should
it
choose
to
either
fully
implement
its

program
immediately,
choose

PROGRAMMATIC
IMPLICATIONS
National
Affiliation
Options
Of
the
roughly
2,870
four-‐year
degree-‐granting
institutions
in
the
United
States1,
1,389
sponsor
intercollegiate
athletic
programs2.
Of
those,
253
are
members
of
the
National
Association
of
Intercollegiate
Athletics.3
There
are
over
1,000
active
member
schools
in
the
NCAA
membership
–
347
in
Division
I,
300
in
Division
II
and
446
in
Division
III.4
The
NCAA
also
has
more
than
100
member
conferences
in
all
three
divisions.
Other
small
associations,
such
as
the
National
Christian
College
Athletic
Association,
account
for
the
others.
The
National
Association
of
Intercollegiate
Athletics
(NAIA)
The
NAIA
serves
approximately
57,3405
student-‐athletes
and
hosts
23
national
championship
events
in
13
sports
each
year.
The
NAIA
men's
basketball
tournament
has
become
the
longest-‐running
basketball
tournament
in
the
country,
celebrating
75
years
in
2012.6
The
NAIA
has
tried
to
differentiate
itself
from
the
NCAA
by
stressing
its
simple
structure
and
its
focus
on
building
character.
The
NAIA
Way
• Bigger
isn’t
always
better.
• Life’s
many
challenges
are
best
met
by
a
simple,
straightforward
approach
that
recognizes
and
expects
individual
honesty
and
responsibility.
• Education
is
the
true
purpose
of
sports
in
the
college
setting.
• Sport
offers
limitless
opportunities
to
teach
lessons
for
life,
standards
higher
than
victory.
One
of
the
NAIA’s
most
important
programs,
Champions
of
Character,
is
grounded
in
five
core
values.
The
program
is
designed
to
instill
an
understanding
of
character
in
sport
and
provide
student-‐athletes,
coaches,
and
parents
with
hands-‐on
training
to
know
the
right
thing,
do
the
right
thing,
and
value
the
right
thing,
inside
and
outside
of
the
sports
setting.

The
program’s
immediate
focus
is
to
reach
and
penetrate
a
broad-‐based
understanding
of
Champions
of
Character
among
NAIA
coaches
and
student-‐athletes.
The
NAIA’s
on-‐line
education
program,
“Character
Driven
Coaching”
is
an
example.
Over
the
last
15
years,
the
NAIA
has
lost
over
180
members.
Fifty-‐nine
institutions
have
been
admitted
for
membership
in
the
NAIA
since
2005.
Those
institutions
have
median
undergraduate
enrollments
of
approximately
790
students.
The
NAIA
now
has
only
50
members
with
undergraduate
enrollment
over
2,000.
New
members
closely
parallel
current
members
with
regard
to
their
public/private
mix.
Currently,
18%
of
the
members
are
public
institutions
and
82%
are
private.7
The
percentage
of
small,
private,
faith-‐based
institutions
appears
to
be
rising
in
the
NAIA
as
larger
institutions
seek
membership
in
the
NCAA.
Along
the
West
Coast,
thirteen
institutions
have
left
or
are
in
the
process
of
leaving
the
NAIA.
They
include
California
Baptist
University,
which
became
an
active
NCAA
Division
II
member
in
September
2013,
and
Asuza
Pacific
University
and
Point
Loma
Nazarene
University,
which
became
active
NCAA
Division
II
members
in
September
2014.
Concordia
(Portland),
California
State
University
San
Marcos
and
Concordia
Irvine
all
were
accepted
into
the
NCAA
Division
II
candidacy
process
beginning
this
fall
(2014).
National
Collegiate
Athletic
Association
(NCAA)
NCAA
is
the
most
recognized
brand
in
college
sports.
The
NCAA
is
a
much
larger
organization
than
the
NAIA
-‐-‐
serving
over
430,000
student-‐athletes.
The
NCAA
is
divided
into
three
divisions
each
with
its
own
statement
of
philosophy.
The
Association
administers
89
championships
in
23
sports
for
its
member
institutions.
More
than
40,600
male
and
female
student-‐athletes
compete
annually
in
these
events
for
national
titles.
Active
NCAA
Division
II
members
sponsor
an
average
of
6.9
sports
for
men
and
7.9
sports
for
women8.
Fifty
percent
of
Division
II
members
are
private
institutions9.
Enrollments
vary
tremendously
across
the
division.
They
tend
to
be
larger
than
NAIA
members.
Only
30
have
enrollments
under
1,00010.
NCAA
Division
II,
which

that
emphasizes
both
academic
excellence
and
athletics
achievement.
In
June
2005,
chancellors
and
presidents
of
Division
II
member
institutions
agreed
to
implement
a
comprehensive
strategic
study
related
to
the
division’s
defining
characteristics
and
key
attributes.
This
data-‐driven
process
was
designed
to
create
a
proactive
position
that
clearly
identified
the
defining
characteristics
and
aspirations
for
the
member
institutions
of
Division
II.
This
effort
was
initiated
with
the
goal
of
enhancing
the
regional
awareness
and
local
engagement
of
Division
II
members
and
the
constituencies
they
serve.
The
result
was
the
development
of
a
Strategic
Positioning
Platform
for
Division
II.
A
priority
identified
for
the
Division
in
2014-‐15
is
to
enhance
and
expand
the
Division
II
brand;
NCAA
Division
II
has
hired
Blacktop
Creative
to
assist
with
these
efforts.
Division
II
Strategic
Positioning
Platform,
Life
in
the
Balance
Higher
education
has
lasting
importance
on
an
individual’s
future
success.
For
this
reason,
the
emphasis
on
the
student-‐athlete
experience
in
Division
II
is
a
comprehensive
program
of
learning
and
development
in
a
personal
setting.
The
Division
II
approach
provides
growth
opportunities
through
academic
achievement,
learning
in
high-‐level
athletic
competition
and
development
of
positive
societal
attitudes
in
service
to
community.
The
balance
and
integration
of
these
different
areas
of
learning
opportunity
provide
Division
II
student-‐athletes
a
path
to
graduation
while
cultivating
a
variety
of
skills
and
knowledge
for
life
ahead.
Division

multiple
opportunities
to

NCAA
Division
II
has
used
these
six
attributes
to
shape
its
Community
Engagement
and
Game
Environment
initiatives
as
well
as
the
Model
Division
II
Athletics
Program.
Division
II
requires
prospective
new
members
to
embrace
these
initiatives
as
a
condition
of
admission
to
candidacy
and
active
membership.
Demographic
Compatibility
The
NAIA
can
serve
as
a
viable
national
affiliation
option
for
new

programs.
The
NAIA
has
minimum
requirements
and
expectations
much
lower
than
those
found
in
NCAA
Division
II.
The
sports
programs
of
the

are
half
the
size
of

It
is
important
to
note,
as
one
compares
the
average
sports
sponsorship
of
each
institution
joining
the
NAIA
and
NCAA,
that
the
requirements
of
each
organization
are
very
different.
NAIA
institutions
can
‘count’
a
sport
like
golf
or
cross
country
with
one
or
more
participants
who
compete
in
one
or
more
contests.
The
NAIA
does
not
have
minimum
participant
or
contest
requirements
to
be
a
“countable”
sport.
The
NCAA
requires
minimum
participants
and
contests
in
order
for
a
sport
to
be
considered
a
‘sponsored’
sport
and
count
for
NCAA
membership.
Analysis
The
NAIA
offers
great
institutional
flexibility
with
regard
to
sports
sponsorship
and
scholarships.
Its
members’
sports
sponsorship
and
participation
numbers
are
trending
downward.
The
size
and
scope
of
NAIA
athletics
programs
had
been
determined
solely
by
member
institutions
and
conferences.
NCAA
Division
II
will
not
allow
a
prospective
member
to
make
application
until
it
has
met
minimum
sports
sponsorship
requirements
(10
sports,
five
each
for
men
and
women
or
six
for
women
and
four
for
men)
for
a
period
of
at
least
one
year.
NAIA
members
are
immediately
eligible
for
post-‐season
play
after
acceptance
for
membership.
NCAA
Division
II
applicants
must
wait
three
years.
If
CI
were
to
decide
to
join
NAIA
first,
and
apply
for
NCAA
Division
II
membership
later,
it
is
important
to
note
that
the
NAIA
places
post-‐season
restrictions
on
institutions
that
make
formal
application
to
the
NCAA.
The
NAIA
rules
handbook
states,”NAIA
institutions
that
make
formal
application
for
NCAA
membership
shall
not
be
allowed
to
participate
in
NAIA
post-‐season
contests
beginning
with
the
second
full
academic
year
after
application
for
NCAA
membership
has
been
made,
unless
a
waiver
is
granted
by
the
National
Administrative
Council.
If
the
institution
withdraws
from
the
NCAA
membership
application
process,
the
institution
will
be
allowed
to
participate
in
NAIA
post-‐season
competition,
provided
the
institution
maintains
NAIA
