Neb Wes is not only a full member of D3, they were runner-up in the 1997 men's national basketball tourney!

Nebraska Wesleyan's participation in D3 goes back much, much further than that, Chuck. NWU was a charter member of D3, and the program has appeared in the D3 men's basketball tourney 14 times, the earliest being 1977 and the most recent in 2001. The Prairie Wolves (né Plainsmen) have been to the Final Four four times, finishing second once and third three times.

Yeah, I'd forgotten some of the details you provided, but knew they were charter members and had had great bball success.  And I'm sure you know perfectly well why I mentioned only their highest finish! ;)

Quote from: gordonmann on September 20, 2016, 11:11:23 AMIt would be great if the New School joined Division III someday given its excellent mascot.

I'd rank Narwhals as one of the top half-dozen nicknames in college sports.

Agreed, though I don't think it can quite reach the level of Fighting Artichokes or Banana Slugs!

(Though a lot more creative than Titans or Vikings. ;))

So St. Elizabeth adds men's basketball and they are good to go for the NCAA tourney since the school and women's teams have been D3? Is there any provisional period for schools that add men's sports?

No provisional period; NCAA membership status exists at the school level.

So, since St. Elizabeth's was a full member when they were women's only, they're automatically full members now that they're adding men's teams.

Same thing with New Rochelle?

Yes.

Unless the entire department is not a fully-fledged member of Division III any sport added by a department is a full fledge member of that sport. No grace period. Again, those are only for entire departments transitioning into Division III. Of course, the exception would be if that program were in a new conference, there would be a wait until they got an AQ opportunity, but that is an entirely different topic.

By the way, this happened earlier this week...

Is this basically the new GSAC? Alfred St, SUNYIT, SUNY Canton, Pine Manor, and Valley Forge seem somewhat close with Maine-Presque Isle a bit out of the way... but then there's Finlandia and Mills who are in Michigan and California and don't seem to fit in at all.

From what I gather, the plan is to start with seven to get the clock running on the automatic bid, but then hopefully become a little more regional as other teams either join d3 or leave their conferences.  I believe Finlandia is working towards UMAC membership anyway.  Without a Pool B bid (and we're two years away from getting one back anyway - longer now), teams are just trying to find access.

I don't believe there will be a required conference schedule, but the members will work to play two games against everybody if they can.

It looks like the results of the NCAA D3 membership committee are finalized:

We'll be welcoming three new exploratory members: SUNY-Dehli (as Delhi State), J&W of Colorado, and Mississippi College for Women.

Another school in the Mountain Time Zone? Maybe one day there will be a peninsula instead of islands :)

It would be more of an isthmus between the West Coast and the rest of the country. Unfortunately Nevada has no possibilities unless UNLV or University of Nevada drop from FBS.

It'll be easier for teams to head to CO for a double bill, though, the way they make pilgrimage to Whitworth/Whitman.

Eastern Nazarene College announced today they'll be leaving the CCC for the NECC in the 2018-2019 season.  They're essentially replacing Daniel Webster, which is closing this summer.
