NCAA to allow merged Pa. state universities to maintain individual sports teams - Susan Snyder, Philadelphia Inquirer

Pennsylvania’s state university system has cleared the last remaining hurdle in its plans to merge six of its 14 schools: The universities will be allowed to keep their own sports teams. The National Collegiate Athletic Association met Tuesday and decided that the six universities — Bloomsburg, Lock Haven, Mansfield, Edinboro, Clarion and California — can maintain their teams with separate athletic budgets and directors, state system officials announced. Athletes and their teams will remain in the NCAA and be able to compete for championships.
