Football is coming to Calvin University. Today, Calvin University's Board of Trustees voted on and approved the university's athletics strategic plan, which includes adding women's acrobatics and tumbling, men's volleyball, and men's American football to its portfolio of NCAA Division III athletic offerings. It also calls for an exploration of expanded ice hockey programs, including adding a women's team.
"We are one of the premier athletics programs in all of Division III and so why not add more offerings that meet the needs of our students," said Dr. Wiebe Boer, president of Calvin University. "By adding these sports, we are providing students who have competed throughout high school the opportunity to get the best Christian liberal arts education around and continue in the sport they love. It's a win-win."
