DURHAM - As with many break-ups, the final step in N.C. Central's split with the CIAA came with a phone call Wednesday.
The Durham school had already submitted its strategic plan to the NCAA for its planned leap to Division I play and had been operating under those rules since June 1. All that was left was the call to the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association, formally notifying the Division II conference of historically black schools to finalize its departure
Saturday marked N.C. Central's final day in the CIAA, signaling the impending start of a five-year reclassification process required by the NCAA.
"This university is going to grow, so our objective all along has been to keep pace with the university's growth," NCCU athletics director Bill Hayes said. "Needless to say, we're very excited about the move."
