2014
According to a very reliable source Georgetown College will apply for D2 membership during the 2014 cycle. This after a firm was secured to do another new new study. SR hopes to verify with school officials.It has been a "soap opera" journey for GC who decided to join D3 and than withdrew from that process, applied for D2 very late in the process and was denied membership in 2012 and than last summer said they would reapply for the early membership process in 2013. According to our sources they did not apply this year because of the search for a new president to replace President Crouch. In another "twist" (see link below) GC has renewed a search for a new president after two finalist withdrew from the process.
This year we have confirmed five schools have applied for D2 membership.

Per NAIA bylaws, Georgetown College would be eligible for NAIA postseason play in 2012-13. If Georgetown applies for NCAA membership again this upcoming year, then the institution would be ineligible for postseason play in 2013-14, regardless of whether the NCAA accepts the institution for membership.
