I don't see any drawbacks off the top of my head. It puts all sports into a system that requires certain setups and benchmarks. I think that is good especially sports like men's lacrosse where I think the committee has been committing malpractice the last five or more years. It will break up the Northeast Region into two regions. How and specifics are to be seen.

I took a quick stab at trying to throw teams into 10 regions.

It's certainly not perfect, but one thing I really like would be to put the Northwest, California, and Texas schools together. They face similar challenges of scheduling and geographic isolation and would be on similar footing with each other with respect to regional rankings.

It is now or never.

The last week of the Division III basketball regular season is here. Conferences will decide who will earn automatic bids to the NCAA Tournaments and teams try and position themselves for at-large bids, hosting opportunities, and bracketing considerations.

For teams who have been faltering, this is the last chance to right the ship. For programs which have underachieved, this is the last opportunity to live up to expectations. And of course for those with Cinderella dreams, this is the chance to try on the glass slipper.

Sunday's Hoopsville will cover it all in a special, extended, episode which for the first time (outside of Marathon programming) will feature a guest from each of the eight regions. We will also discuss which teams may be on the bubble, who has most likely secured at-large bid, and which teams need to win the AQs. Plus, we talk about how regions as we know it now could very well change in the future.

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. Sunday's show will hit the air at 6:00 p.m. ET. It can be watched live right here: http://bit.ly/2EeG5ZE (and simulcast on Facebook Live and Periscope).

Baseball does this (and I'm sure they're not alone).

Also, from what Titan Q is reporting in the CCIW room, it sounds as though your proposal is sounder than the NCAA's, at least as far as the region described by outgoing CCIW commish Chris Martin is concerned.

Reviving the thread, with the DIII Conference Commissioners approving regional realignment this week at the NCAA Convention by a vote of 40 in favor, 1 opposed, and 2 abstaining--?

(Update-- Credit to Dave McHugh of Hoopsville for the breaking story.😊  A further update will come when minutes are released.)

Get ready for 2021-22 academic year, when a 10 region plan for men's and women's basketball would take effect.  I am looking forward to February for details from the Championships Committee and further details on the makeup of the 10 basketball regions.  Since the UAA is grandfathered in as a !ulmulti-regional conference, I expect that it will stay that way in the new plans for d3 sports regions.

The effect for basketball for the UAA with respect to basketball RACs is that the UAA gets to choose which RAC its rep will serve on for each 3 year term.

Currently, the UAA reps sit on the East Region RAC for men's hoop, and the Great Lakes RAC for women's hoop.  This practice would be expected to continue in the new alignment plan, with different regions getting a chance to have UAA reps sit on their RACs every 3 years.

Update-- as suggested, post modified to give credit as credit is due.

The provision dealing with UAA representation on the basketball RACs is a section 7.2 of the UAA Basketball Code of Conduct, which link can be found off the UAA Basketball pages.  I will try to set up the link to it this weekend, but the section specifically points out what I previously wrote.  The section was just added in this season.

The names of the current UAA RAC reps for basketball are listed on page 10 of both the men's and women's 2019-2020 Pre-Championship Basketball Manuals.

UAA men's basketball RAC rep is Like Flockerzi of Rochester, who sits on the East Region RAC.

The UAA women's basketball RAC rep is Jennifer Reimer of CWRU, who sits on the Great Lakes Region RAC.

If you are looking for something else, I apologize.

The bold area may be Dave's area of concern.

I am just going on what Dave reported last night on Hoopsville.  I do not have the minutes of yesterday's meeting from the convention.  When the NCAA posts them, I will review it.  Anything else I wrote on the subject is just my speculative analysis, which is subject to change as more exact details come in.

Me and my big mouth...😕

Hey, you keep doing you, Allen, and don't stop doing it. :) I appreciate it when a poster has the time and the desire to try to stay on top of NCAA legislative minutiae. It saves me from having to try to do it myself. ;)
