When I first came to UVa-Wise, that was the talk of going up to Division II. They chose NAIA instead, and I think they've regretted it. As soon as the NCAA tag is applied to a school, they get a huge funding overhaul. Especially having the new facility and turf at UVA-Wise, this is a smart move. All NCAA affiliated facilities are top of the line. I'm doing another degree at King College...super small, but NCAA funded and the new gym is amazing!
