When you see the first release of the Handbook, please post the link for all of us.  

2009 DIVISION III FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP HANDBOOK (Updated 10/12/2009)
First draft of the Handbook is out.

23 Pool A/ 3 Pool B/ 6 Pool C bids.

That seems to be correct.

However, the Handbook Appendix C has omitted these programs:

St Schoastica MN
Anna Marie MA
Castleton State VT
SUNY Morrisville
Northwestern MN

Ralph, if the NCAA was smart they would pay you to be a consultant on this handbook.  They get stuff wrong every year.

Ron, that will never happen.  It would require them to actually ADMIT they get stuff wrong every year...and that doesn't even begin to take your opening (IF the NCAA was smart) premise into consideration...
Been wrong before.  Will be wrong again.

NCAA Smart!!! Isn't that an oxymoron  ;D

Wesley and Huntingdon are making their cases as is CWRU.

It looks like those are the three.

It seems that there is less drama and fewer pool B teams are having good seasons.

The drama should return in 2011 when the UMAC and the ECFC move to Pool A.

Wesley, CWRU and Huntingdon will be fighting for the same bid, unless Huntingdon and LaGrange move into the USA South if/when Shenandoah leaves.

HSC85

In 2011 will there only be one pool B bid or will they reduce the pool C bids?

In post #640 of this thread, I project 25 Pool A bids, 1 Pool B and 6 Pool C bids in 2011.

What does your crystal ball say about the Empire 6?  In 2011, they be relegated to Pool B eligible?
Irritating SAT-lagging Union undergrads and alums since 1977

I understand that they have brought in Frostburg and Salisbury as affiliates in 2011.

If they do not sign the affiliation agreement, there might only be one bid for for 16 teams (UAA-4, the E-6, Macalester, Chapman and the four ACFC-4 schools, Wesley, Salisbury, Frostburg and Stevenson).

That would give 24 Pool A bids, 1 Pool B and 7 Pool C bid.

 I think we are all hopimg that the E 8 reconsiders and invites Wesley now that the NCAA has passed judgement on the infactions and punishment has been handed out.

Ralph

My question to you is , if that happens does Wesley(Delaware) get moved into the east region? Hard to do it with Salisbury and Frostburg St. because of the number of schools in Maryland.. But that's thinking ahead .. I know Wesley has an agreement to play Huntiongdon the next few years

Delaware and Maryland are in Administrative Region #2  #1, so they are in-region for each other.

If they (E8) take Wesley, I hope that they take Stevenson as well.

Ralph

I understand that. I wondered  if the NCAA would change Wesley to the East in stead of the
South. But thinking about it more I would guess they wouldn't because of Stevenson and the CAC possible addition in the future

A conference can ask for a multi-region waiver (like the SCAC has for its members).
