31.3.3.1.4 Core Institution. For purposes of Bylaw 31, a core institution is an active NCAA Division III member institution that is a member of an NCAA Division III conference and participates in that conference in more than one conference-sponsored sport. An institution may be a core institution in only one multisport conference. An institution that was considered a core institution in more than one multisport conference prior to September 1, 2011, may continue as a core institution in those conferences until it is no longer an active member of the particular conference.
