Houston Baptist sues NCAA
Houston Baptist University filed a lawsuit against the NCAA on Friday, seeking to reduce its probation period to become a Division I program from seven years to three. The suit accuses the NCAA of violating its constitution by requiring the school to wait an additional four years before becoming a full member of Division I. HBU rejoined the NCAA last March after a 17-year stint as an NAIA program. "This decision causes more harm to HBU that goes beyond the financial aspects of its athletic program," said Dallas-based attorney Tom Thomas, co-counsel in the school's lawsuit. "I don't think the program could survive if forced to wait another six years." The NCAA informed HBU last April that its constitution was "editorially revised" by its staff to change the probation period from three to seven years shortly before the school put in its application to become a provisional member.
