NAIA Statement on Adjustment to Football Championship Series Quarterfinals

The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics has received Marian University’s self-report of an eligibility violation within its football program. Marian will be removed from the 2025 NAIA Football Championship Series. While this outcome is certainly unfortunate, we appreciate Marian’s integrity and cooperation in addressing the issue quickly and transparently. With this adjustment to the postseason field, Keiser University will advance to the NAIA Football Championship Series Semifinals.
