Longwood University and the Big South Longwood has a history of strong intercollegiate athletics that dates back to the 1920’s for women, before the school became coeducational in 1976 and athletics for men were added. The women’s programs were a member of the AIAW from 1972-82, before moving to the NCAA as a member of Division II (1982-83). The men’s programs were members of NCAA Division III through 1979-80, before moving to Division II (1980-81). Former Longwood President Dr. Patricia P. Cormier (1996-2010) informed the NCAA in a letter dated November 12, 2002 of Longwood’s intention to reclassify its intercollegiate athletics program to Division I status, and the department went through an NCAA-mandated five-year process that included a four-year reclassification period (2003-07) – following a one-year ‘exploratory period’ (2002-03) – to change its membership (see timeline). Dr. Cormier received a letter from the NCAA dated July 11, 2007 stating that the NCAA Division I Management Council Administrative Committee, acting on behalf of the Division I Management Council, had approved the recommendation from the Division I Management Council Membership Subcommittee to transfer Longwood to Division I active membership as of September 1, 2007. The Lancers Lcompeted during 2007-08 as one of three (UC Davis, Northern Colorado) new members of NCAA Division I. The decision to move to Division I was part of Longwood’s overall strategic plan to raise the visibility and profile of the University. Longwood has competed as a Division I Independent since 2007-08, though the Lancers have had single-sport conference memberships in (NorPac, since 2005), men’s soccer (Atlantic Soccer, since 2005), women’s lacrosse (National Lacrosse, since 2009), and women’s soccer (United Soccer, 2005-08). Men’s golf and women’s lacrosse enjoyed Division I eligibility during 2006-07 via the NCAA’s Multidivisional Reclassification that permitted reclassifying schools to designate two sports (excluding ) for Division I eligibility one year ahead of the other programs. Longwood men’s golf earned an invitation to the postseason 2007 NCAA East Regional in its first year of eligibility (May 2007). Longwood provides access to the Richmond, media market that includes a Local TV Market Ranking of 57, according to Nielsen estimates as of September 1, 2011, while the Richmond Times-Dispatch newspaper prides itself in “informing more than 654,000 readers in print and online.”
