History

Attempt to move to NCAA Division II

It was presumed they would join the newly formed Great Midwest Athletic Conference. However, on July 24, 2012, the college announced that its application to join the NCAA was denied. The membership committee had notified them on July 12 that "it felt that Georgetown College was not ready to enter the process at this time." As of 2021, Georgetown hasn't yet re-applied to transition into NCAA Division II.
