Interesting dialogue here....

Dr. Karen Weaver is the AD at D-III Penn State-Abington, and she wrote her doctoral dissertation on the rise of the Big Ten Network. She penned this column for the Indianapolis Star describing why she thought small D-I conferences like the Horizon League should be scared about the D-I realignment...

Now, here is the response from Jon LeCrone, the commissioner of the Horizon League. As you can imagine he disputes Dr. Weaver, but I find it interesting that his argument sure sounds a lot like what a D-III commissioner might say....

I tried to change it to a 500lb. Gorilla after I sent the message, but couldn't figure out how to do it.... ;D

I figured someone would take a shot at it... ;)

As long as you have a 'modify' button, you're free to change anything you want on your own post.

I don't know if 'modify' is available immediately or if you need a certain number of posts.

Good to know, I'll look for it after I send this.  Thanks.

Can't see a modify button, where would it be at?

Do you have a "quote" button up on the tool bar at the far right opposite the "Re: Potential effect..." ?

It should be inside that.  I think that "Modify" adds after a few more posts.Welcome to the boards.

Upper right of your box, if you have that 'power'.

Pat (quite wisely) only allots certain capabilities after posters have 'proved themselves' with a certain number of posts.  I don't know those numbers, since I am quite obviously beyond them (though I strongly suspect Pat was wondering about the numbers during my earlier days! ;D).

I do have a quote button, but not a modify.  Thanks for the welcome.  I look forward to following the boards and the action on the field in D3 football.

GG: You should get modify privileges soon. I believe the next level of membership comes around 25 posts?

Using the 16-PAC model, teams will play seven games in their own division and two in the other.  That will give a school a chance to play old rivals (USC/Notre Dame)  or Nebraska patsies like Haskell Indian.  ;D
After more thought I realized that there will be four conference champions.  This is only two steps away from a playoff championship.  The "also rans" like TCU/Boise State and UCLA/Temple can still get to be in a bowl, altough these wil be even more meaningless.

Front page of the NCAA website shows the spring championships.

Softball -- UCLA
Men's Golf -- Augusta State won the Match Format after Okie State had the low 54-hole team score.
Women's Lacrosse -- Maryland
Men's Lacrosse -- Duke
Women's Tennis singles -- Georgia
Men's Tennis singles -- Stanford
Rowing -- Virginia

Six out of seven from the Super Conferences.

The Super Conferences can conduct their playoffs very easily, without the logisitical hassles of a venue trying to host 30+ teams.

I have a feeling that certain Senators will try to stop the BCS from excluding TCU or Boise State.

TCU and Boise State -- members of the Mountain West Conference.
