   "The key to this new provisional process is the new educational program," said Christopher Bledsoe, chair of the Division III Membership Committee, member of the Division III Management Council and director of athletics, intramurals and recreation at New York University.
   
   "We've had a provisional educational process in the past, but this new program promises to be more thorough, including in-person education and much more practical and hands-on information. We want institutions to have a clear understanding of what it means to be a member of Division III," Bledsoe said, noting that these institutions have not previously been members of the NCAA.
   
   The Division III Membership Committee recommended to the governance structure that each class of provisional institutions be limited to six to provide for a meaningful educational experience. It also recommended a random-selection process to ensure fairness. The Division III membership approved the new provisional process at the NCAA Convention in 2002.
   
   "We chose a lottery to select from eligible institutions because it was clear that there were more institutions interested in joining than could be accommodated at one time," Bledsoe said.
