University of Illinois - Springfield (UIS) was granted NCAA Division II provisional status..
that means they can begin playing as D-II schools but are still not eligible for postseason play.
After either one or possibly two years of provisional status (as determined by their progress towards meeting NCAA requirements), their progress will be reviewed and they may then move to full D-II status possibly by as early as 2010-2011.
ex-BU'er Ryan Thornton presently is entering his junior season at UIS, which is coached by Springfield-area great and ex-Iowa Hawkeye Kevin Gamble.
Also Lincoln HS grad and Lincoln College grad Brandon Farmer has now transferred to UIS from Lincoln College (juco).
One school that was denied by NCAA in its request for candidacy for D-II was Lebanon, IL McKendree College.
