Gut feeling is BU will be gone to D-II and we'll hear an announcement shortly after the NCAA Convention which convenes this week.

If this were to happen, how quickly would it take effect? Would they be out of here by next season already?

No idea. With Illinois Tech entering the league it seems like you could just swap BU's spot in all the schedules for IIT. But it might not be that simple.

It's not that simple, because Illinois Tech is not a perfect match for the NACC in terms of sponsored sports the way that Benedictine has been. The Bennies offer the same 19 sports that the NACC sponsors. IIT, on the other hand, has men's and women's lacrosse (not sponsored by the NACC), but lacks football, men's and women's golf, and softball, all of which are NACC-sponsored sports. Men's and women's golf is probably no big deal in terms of scheduling, but softball will now only have 11 teams competing, which creates scheduling headaches. A similar problem is in store for NACC football; although bringing in Eureka as an associate member in 2018 will preserve the league's automatic bid to the D3 playoffs (seven teams are required for a league to have an autobid), it will keep the NACC's number of football programs at an uneven seven, just when the league thought that it had finally balanced things out, schedule-wise, by adding the Red Devils. However, the league is used to handling an unbalanced football schedule, and perhaps a continuing agreement with the similarly-odd-numbered MIAA to match up the teams from each league that have a bye will be in the works.

I imagine they'll stay D3 & NACC for one season then go D2 for the 2019-2020 campaign. That's been the talk around the matter that I've heard, at least.

That's standard procedure, generally - teams are playoff ineligible in d3 for one season, then move to d2.

Believe they'd be ineligible for playoffs at the D2 level for at least a year, too, no?

We've been working on this for awhile, actually... and have a statement from the University.. not stealing (bad word) "acquiring" an internal email: http://www.d3sports.com/notables/2018/01/benedictine-looking-to-d2

Surely someone forwarded them the internal memo -- I'd say there are not facts in evidence to back up "stealing" as a verb there.

Did you figure out actual tiebreakers for that order of 7-7 teams, and those other teams that are tied?

I did not, but let me fetch my abacus and get back to you...

* MSOE has swept Aurora, so they would win that tiebreaker and also a 3 way tie including Benedictine, who they have also beaten once (they play at MSOE on Sat). AU and BU split the season series.
* Lakeland and CUW split, so their tiebreaker would come down to what order the top 3 finish in. CUW's sweep of MSOE would give it to them if the Raiders finish 1st outright or tied, while LU holds a win over BU (with CUW having a home game against them yet); neither team has beaten AU, though Lakeland will have one more chance to do so.
* Edgewood can lock up the 3 way tiebreaker with a win at Marian on 2/10, which would give them a season sweep over MU and a 3-1 head to head record; if the Sabres win, all three reams would be 2-2 as Rockford has split the season series with both. Then it would go to head to head records vs. the top teams as described above.
