Members
The EIVA comprises eight teams, all but one from the NCAA's Division I level. The only non-Division I member is Division III Rutgers–Newark. Because that school traditionally competed in the former University Division in men's volleyball before the NCAA created its current three-division setup in 1972, it is allowed to award scholarships in that sport, making it one of only seven D-III schools allowed to do so.

Famous quotes containing the word members:
“I understand that only the rich can be members of Dr. C---s church. The Lord Christ, also, is therefore ineligible. I will remain outside with Him.”
—Amelia E. Barr (18311919)
“This will not be disloyalty but will show that as members of a party they are loyal first to the fine things for which the party stands and when it rejects those things or forgets the legitimate objects for which parties exist, then as a party it cannot command the honest loyalty of its members.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (18841962)
“It took six weeks of debate in the Senate to get the Arms Embargo Law repealedand we face other delays during the present session because most of the Members of the Congress are thinking in terms of next Autumns election. However, that is one of the prices that we who live in democracies have to pay. It is, however, worth paying, if all of us can avoid the type of government under which the unfortunate population of Germany and Russia must exist.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (18821945)
