DePaul Catholic lost, but in some ways won when it came to its request to the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association to be removed from Division I in the Big North Conference's new alignment.

The NJSIAA denied the school's request, but did give the team with the smallest enrollment in the all non-public division a little relief by ruling that DePaul doesn't have to play powers Bergen Catholic and Don Bosco Prep for two years.

Paramus Catholic was also appealing its placement, but withdrew its request to be moved out of Division I.
