1. A Whole New World: Analyzing The Impacts of House vs. NCAA on Division II/III

by Adam Denn, Swimming World

“Over the past month, we’ve witnessed some of the greatest swimming in NCAA history. From personal bests to record swims to great team performances, March has encapsulated the greatness college swimming has to offer. But within this excitement, a massive damper looms over the sport at the collegiate level.

As Swimming World has documented over the past year, the court case House vs. NCAA is set to affect many of the top swim programs. The latest impact of the case has been a sea of roster cuts, with each program only allowed a maximum of 30 participants for the 2025-26 season (22 in the SEC). These cuts have already led to a scramble across Division I swimming, as athletes look to ensure a place on a roster.

But how will these changes affect the other divisions of college swimming? Could Division II and Division III swimming grow under these new restrictions? Or will they be similarly negatively affected by these measures? Three of the top coaches across Division II and Division III weighed in on a potential new landscape of college swimming.”
