JAMESTOWN — The Great Plains Athletic Conference announced Wednesday, Oct. 11, that the University of Jamestown will be removed from the conference at the end of the 2023-24 academic year.
The conference announced that the vote took place Tuesday, Oct. 10, during the Council of Presidents meeting.
"The University of Jamestown has been a good member of the GPAC since they joined the league in 2018," said Greg Christy, chair of the GPAC Council of Presidents. "We wish them all the best as they continue to pursue an opportunity to join the NSIC and a move to NCAA Division II."
University of Jamestown President Polly Peterson said the university is disappointed with the GPAC's decision and potential moves are being discussed.
"With the admittance of Waldorf University into the conference as early as the 24-25 athletic season, we have anticipated the potential of this outcome," Peterson said. "Consequently, we have been discussing alternative opportunities as we prepare for a potential move to the NCAA."
