    Cavaliers Re-commit to AAC and NAIA
    [​IMG] Montreat College announced its exploration of a possible move to NCAA Division III and a plan to phase out athletic scholarships in January of 2009. After reviewing the alternatives, the college has re-committed to the Appalachian Athletic Conference of the NAIA and will continue to offer current and future students athletic scholarships.
    Dr. Dan Struble, President of Montreat College, stated the following reasons for the decision to remain NAIA: “We truly value our student athletes, and after reviewing all of the options, believe they are best served in the NAIA. The Appalachian Athletic Conference has been very good for our athletes and for Montreat College.” Other factors leading to the decision were the NAIA’s focus on Champions of Character, recent additions of Reinhardt and Warren Wilson Colleges, and distance to NCAA Division III competition. Dr. Struble added, “Sometimes it takes a good look over the fence to learn how good things are in your own back yard.”
