Emerging Sport Guidelines

Emerging sports guidelines formulated by the Athletic Directors

An emerging sport will be defined as a NCAA sanctioned sport that is sponsored at the varsity level by a minimum of four member institutions.
To be designated as an emerging sport, an official letter of request must be submitted to the Commissioner by all of the member institutions sponsoring that sport.
Once a sport is designated as an emerging sport, a Coaches Committee will be established for that sport.
The conference will allow the sport to have one post-season game that will be designated as the conference championship in that sport.
The student-athletes participating at a member institution in an emerging sport will be eligible for Player of the Week awards.
Each emerging sport will be allowed to name one All Conference Team at post-season awards.
Sports under the designation of emerging sports will not win points toward the Hawn Cup.
The emerging sport status will be reevaluated after a period not to exceed five years. (At any time 50% of the members sponsor the sport it becomes eligible for conference sport status).
