"This is a great opportunity to increase the visibility and exposure for our member institutions and for NCAA Division II across the country."
A slate of volleyball contests will be available in coming weeks. Men's and women's basketball will be available beginning in November. Fans can purchase individual games for the standard price of $7 dollars. Special season pass pricing for basketball will be announced in the coming months.
