Black Hills State University Athletics

As a member of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) and the National College Athletic Association (NCAA Division II), Black Hills State University is responsible for ensuring that its coaches, student-athletes, faculty and staff, donors, boosters, former students, fans, and friends abide by RMAC and NCAA Division II regulations. 
 
This website is designed as a resource for those with questions regarding RMAC and NCAA compliance as it relates to BHSU and its athletics department. Failure to comply with such regulations may result in violations, so compliance is greatly appreciated. Violations can impact the eligibility of involved prospects or student-athletes, and/or result in penalties being imposed on BHSU Athletics.
