FLORENCE -- The University of North Alabama Board of Trustees, in a 6-3 vote this morning, approved moving to Division I.
The board also voted, unanimously, to approved a 10.3 percent tuition increase. Students attending the university this fall will pay an additional $19 per credit hour.
A student enrolled in 15 credit hours, for instance, will pay $3,060 in tuition alone.
In a showing-of-hands vote, Harvey Robbins, John Cole and Libby Jordan voted against the Division I proposal. Richard Cater, Ronnie Flippo, Lisa Ceci, Steve Pierce, Rodney Howard and Billy Don Anderson voted for the proposal.

I'm glad we have the bye week. TTU or VU wouldn't have done anything to improve us at that point of the season.

FLORENCE - The decision last week to take the University of North Alabama’s athletic program to Division I won’t affect the NCAA Division II National Championship Game’s status in the Shoals — at least not now.
NCAA officials in Indianapolis say they are monitoring the situation closely, but a spokesman said it’s too early to evaluate the long-term effects on the Division II championship football game.

www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2011/06/why_is_una_going_against_its_c.htmlBIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Why indeed? Why did the University of North Alabama board of trustees ignore its students, staff and faculty by voting 6-3 this week to pursue a move from Division II to Division I? Because on the surface, this feels like another ill-prepared university chasing the allure of Division I. Too many wind up chasing their tail instead. "My main concerns are timing given the current economic situation, our lack of preparation, and we lack community support at this time," said Ethan Humphres, UNA staff senate president. "That being said, we're going to make the best of this situation." The Florence Times Daily reported that UNA students, staff and faculty voted against Division I, with 58 percent of student respondents disagreeing with the move. The SGA president asked the board to consider the impact on students. Board member Libby Jordan called the university subcommittee that examined Division I a "sham" because several members lacked objectivity.
