General Description:	Northeastern University is an integral part of the New England sports community, fielding 19 varsity teams in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I sports as well as other teams and individuals in national and international arenas. The university's teams, nicknamed the Huskies, are also some of the region's most successful. Northeastern began a new chapter in its history in 2005 when the Huskies joined the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA). The Colonial Athletic Association has produced 16 national team champions in five different sports, 33 individual national champions, 11 national coaches of the year, 11 national players of the year and 12 Honda Award winners. Even more impressive, however, are the honors accumulated away from competition, which include five Rhodes Scholars and 16 NCAA post-graduate scholars. In 2004-05, the CAA had seven ESPN The Magazine CoSIDA Academic All-Americans and more than 1,500 student-athletes posted at least a 3.2 grade point average while lettering in a varsity sport and received the CAA Commissioner's Academic Award. The Huskies competed in most sports in the America East Conference from 1979-2005. The Northeastern football team competes in the toughest Div. I-AA league in the country, the Atlantic 10 Conference, and the men's and women's hockey teams compete in Hockey East, the nation's premier league. The Atlantic 10 football conference is the home to two of the last three national champions: Delaware in 2003 and James Madison in 2004. The Atlantic 10 football conference will become part of the CAA in 2007, further solidifying Northeastern's association with other premier athletic and academic institutions. The Hockey East Association is consistently labelled the strongest men's hockey conference in the nation from top to bottom. Over the last 14 seasons, Hockey East has earned 22 of the 54 berths in the NCAA Frozen Four championship tournament and boasted four NCAA title winners: the University of Maine in 1993 and 1999, Boston University in 1995 and Boston College in 2001. The 2002-03 season brought the inaugural year of women's Hockey East play. NU plays host to some of the biggest collegiate events. Northeastern, along with Harvard, successfully hosted the 2006 NCAA Women's Basketball Final Four at the TD Banknorth Garden in Boston. Northeastern also hosted the Northeast Regional Cross Country Championship at Franklin Park in 2003 and 2005. Northeastern hosted the NCAA field hockey championship at Parsons Field in 1994 and 1999. The 2001 Women's Hockey National Championship was played at Matthews Arena. NU hosted the 2002 America East Men's Basketball Championship at Matthews Arena and then co-hosted the 2003 event with Boston University at Walter Brown Arena. All intercollegiate teams welcome new members to try out. To qualify, students must be in good academic standing and making acceptable progress toward the completion of a degree. Potential student-athletes must also be registered as a full-time student at Northeastern. This means they must be carrying a minimum of twelve quarter-hours of credit during an academic quarter, or working on a co-op assignment, doing student teaching, or performing clinical work. Students also must follow all regulations and rules of the NCAA and the college in which they are enrolled. Student-athletes must maintain the required Quality Point Average and remain in good academic standing as defined by your degree program. Their anticipated graduation date cannot have changed due to poor academic performance. Specific policies and guidelines relating to academic eligibility for athletics are distributed in writing to all student-athletes.
