participating in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) colleges and universities. The NLI is a binding agreement between a student-athlete and an NLI member institution.

“To be invited to be a collegiate level athlete is no small feat,” remarked Kevin Butler, Athletics
Director at St. Joseph’s. “When you think about the amount of time spent on and off the
field – the hard work and commitment, both academically and athletically – it’s an outstanding
achievement. We wish all of our Cadets the best and we cannot wait to see what they do next.”
As part of their NLI, prospective student-athletes agree to attend the institution full-time for one academic year and the institution agrees to provide athletes financial aid for one academic year.
