Looks like a lot of moving and shaking within conferences in the near future:

How many schools are needed for a conference to have an AQ? 7? 8? If the IIAC splits as the article recommends, would the remaining schools look to add some schools? UMAC schools? Nebraska Wesleyan Univ (old NIAC)? etc...

How are the Indy's looked at? Chapman always appears to have a chance to make the tnmt. But who else among the independents are consistently good? How are they viewed/rated for making the tournment

I just thought of Josh Loeffler as well. He moved from Stevens IT to be an assistant at Lafayette

General Basketball / DI Coaching ties to DIII
October 04, 2009, 09:05:31 AM
We have seen many DIII Coaches/players make names for themselves at the DI level. Most recently I noticed that Zach Spiker (Ithaca alum & former assistant at Cornell University) was named Head Men's Basketball Coach at Army.

Dave Paulsen made the jump from Williams to Bucknell. Jay Wright once worked at the U of R and is the man at Villanova. I guess even going further, Greg Popovich was long ago the head coach at Ponoma.

What other connections are out there?

D1....1-35
D2....12-57
NAIA 1....9-26
NAIA 2....130-97

If these numbers are accurate, then D3 is competes very well with (30 games over .500) versus NAIA 2

Being NCAA D3 is a philosophy/mission of an institution and it tends to match the mission of D3 set forth by the NCAA.  Just different levels. D1 is typically associated with full scholarships (at least in football/basketball) and sports are big business.  D2 is associated with partial scholarships and typically the coach can spread money around as he wishes as long as it only adds up to (for example) eight full scholarships. And then financial aid at the D3 level is completely out of the hands of the coach. It is based on the FAFSA and a kids EFC. Then academic money and packages are given to the students. So, federal money and school academic scholarships are what prospects can expect - just like any other student wishing to attend the institution. 

The interesting thing about D3 is that the majority of schools are private and can offer great academics in a small classroom setting (ie Williams, Amherst, Chicago, Wash U, U of Rochester, NYU, etc, etc.).  Top D3's have been able to compete against most any level. Take the WIAC (d3 publics) many of the top players in that league transfer from d1's or are marginal d1 players and choose those d3 schools because they will have a chance to play right away or for whatever other reasons.

Schools I am familiar with are not interested in JUCO's. They want kids in their program that they will have for all four years. They do their homework, find the kids that fit academically, socially, etc...By meeting with and speaking with recruits, parents, teachers, coaches, Guidance office, friends, opposing coaches, etc...I also think that JUCO has a bad rap with these guys. They don't want the baggage. Why go to JUCO, is due to grades, money, think they are better than they are and working for a scholarship, other baggage?

What are some on-campus marketing things that schools do to promote there games/contests? I have seen banners, table tents, doorknob hangers, the sports poster with schedule, etc...

General Basketball / Marketing/Sponsorship

Do any DIII's have sponsorship deals with auto dealerships for courtesy cars?  My understanding is that this is somewhat of a common practice or was with schools of higher divisions (DI/DII).

Randolph-Macon defeated George Mason in an exhibition game this last year

I think there has been some big changes in the coaching ranks within the conference.  Long time assistant coaches Joe Neuman(Hanover) and Toby Carrigan (Transy) have both left to take high school coaching positions in Indiana.

I would doubt that Braase is interested, however, is there any news on the Head Coaching position at Cornell
#45
uwsuper.edu confirms that Logan Flora has been named interim Head Coach.  Should provide some consistency for a team that should have high expectations.
