Two-thirds of Division I member schools on Friday rescinded a rule change that would have shifted the Division I men’s soccer season across two semesters, with the championship in the spring, the NCAA said.
As a result, Division I men’s soccer will continue to hold its championship season in the fall, according to the NCAA.
The vote came at the end of a 30-day procedural period. The NCAA said any proposal the Division I Cabinet adopts with less than a 75% majority is subject to that rescission process. The change had been approved earlier, before the rescission vote.
The NCAA’s announcement did not say how many schools took part in the vote or give a count of votes for and against. It also did not say what the Cabinet’s original vote was, when the Cabinet approved the change or when the new schedule would have taken effect.
The announcement did not give reasons from schools or conferences for rescinding the change, and it did not say whether the proposal could return in a different form.
