The process used by the NCAA to clear Bridgton Academy and other prep schools across the country for inclusion in their initial-eligibility process has left officials from Bridgton concerned and frustrated. While the NCAA has cleared these schools they remain on a watch list with no apparent path to being removed from the list.

Hursty. “Several schools on this list have long traditions both of academic and athletic excellence, including Bridgton Academy, Fork Union Military Academy and Oak Hill Academy, and have worked tirelessly to meet the rigorous standards for accreditation, as well as the NCAA eligibility rules; to include these schools on such a list is a travesty.”
