The Horizon League’s ruling on UIC affects sports such as the men’s and women’s basketball teams, which would need to earn at-large bids for the NCAA Tournaments.
University of Illinois at Chicago men’s basketball coach Luke Yaklich immediately thought of his players, his colleagues and all of the athletes affected after receiving word that the Horizon League had barred the Flames from participating in the conference’s winter and spring championships.
The Horizon League, in a statement released Wednesday, said bylaws “provide a choice to departing members: either provide a reasonable one-year notice of a decision to join another league or lose the privilege of having its teams participate in League championships and potentially carry the Horizon League banner into NCAA tournament competition. The League’s eligibility Bylaws have been in place for years and were approved by its members, including UIC, fully aware of this choice.
UIC Chancellor Michael Amiridis said in a statement he was “very surprised” and “disappointed” by the decision.
