Commending the Northwest Missouri State University Bearcats on their National Collegiate Athletic Association Division II national championship victories.

    Whereas, on December 17, 2016, the Northwest Missouri State University football team defeated the University of North Alabama by a score of 29 to 3 in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (referred to in this preamble as the “NCAA”) Division II national championship game in Kansas City, Kansas;

    Whereas, on March 25, 2017, the Northwest Missouri State men's basketball team defeated Fairmont State University in the NCAA Division II national championship, a first in the history of the Bearcats basketball program;

    Whereas the Bearcats men's basketball team finished the 2016–2017 season with a 29-1 record, earning coach Ben McCollum his third Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association Coach of the Year award;

    Whereas Bearcat guard, Justin Pitts, was named—

    (1) Division II Player of the Year by the National Association of Basketball Coaches; and

    (2) Division II Bulletin Player of the Year; and

    Whereas Northwest Missouri State University became the first Division II school to win championships for football and men's basketball in the same academic year: Now, therefore, be it
