Hopefan,
Interestingly enough, I've been trying to confirm Menlo's status in men's basketball.  The college seems to be affiliated with both the NAIA and NCAA Div. III with men's basketball still being affiliated with NAIA.

Another West Coast Conference School (D-I) will play a Division III school on Monday, Nov. 16.  Santa Clara will host fellow Bay Area school Menlo.

Interesting news out of New Orleans today......

Anybody need a new conference member?

Frank,
Thanks for the shoutout for SIDs.  The SIDs in the SCAC are first class, particularly veterans like Justin Parker at Trinity and Bill Wagner at DePauw.  I enjoyed my time serving Millsaps.  Kevin is doing a great job for the Majors.  I'm glad he is getting some support. 

Along the lines of SIDs....kudos to Dwayne Hanberry, former SCAC SID and now Mr. Commissioner.  The SCAC has completely transformed during Dwayne's multi-faceted tenure.

Because the SCAC Tournament games are exempt from the maximum number games (40) that a Division III team may play during a season, Millsaps has two games left that they can play in advance of the postseason.  The question is whether Millsaps will elect to play a game as playing can either bolster or hurt their chances of an at large. 

I believe that Millsaps will get in.  I'm not sure another team can make as compelling a case as Millsaps has made this year.

Congratulations to Washington and Jefferson on a nice win over Millsaps.  The Majors had a fine season!  For whatever reason, Millsaps did not play with the same agressive style of play today that had been their mantra all year.  Good luck to the Presidents the rest of the playoffs.

Majors get a pick-6 and go up 51-20 with 5:45 to go in the 4th quarter.

Is Jacob Hanberry the son of our erstwhile SCAC commissioner?


SCAC website says no.

Big run by LaGrange leads to a first down at the two and a score three plays later.  38-20 early in the 4th (PAT missed).

And I believe that Dwayne Hanberry is still the SCAC commissioner.

Millsaps up 31-14 at halftime....LaGrange scored after Millsaps gambled trying to intercept a pass....just missed the pick....but LaGrange receiver wins footrace to endzone.  This is the 2nd such near pick that resulted in a LaGrange TD today.

Millsaps scored on five of their six possessions in the first half.  Millsaps fumbled inside the five yardline on their sixth possession.  Good first half.  Majors racked up over 400 yards of offense.

Majors up 31-7...still in 2nd quarter.  This is fun!  Millsaps has scored on all 5 possessions this half.

Majors rolling early in 2nd quarter....lead LaGrange 24-7.  Juan Joseph is 15-20 for 179 yards and 2 TDs.  Millsaps has scored on all four possessions.

Frank, you beat me to the proper interpretation.  Photographers must not be inside the 25 yardlines which means that they can't be in what's known as the team bench area.  However, photographers can be positioned between the 25 yard lines and the endzone and even behind the endzone as long as they remain at least 12 feet from the playing field.  Most division I fields have the media areas marked off in chalk around this permissible area.  Millsaps will probably not, but the officials will ask photographers to back up if it becomes a problem.  Frank, behave yourself.

Hosting NCAA post-season games are just as hectic as they are fun.  The NCAA produces a championship manual for all sports across all divisions, and this manual pretty much covers it all in terms of what you can and can't do.  Post season playoffs and tournaments are very profitable for the NCAA, which helps its member institutions.  

Don't think it's really profitable in D3.  Say 2500 tickets are sold for a game (@ $6, $15K) then look at the cost of putting 60 kids and coaches on a plane with last second fares (@ $500, $30K).  Add hotel, add food, add pay for the officials, other incidentals, etc, and you can see why the AA likes to bus as many teams as it can. 

Ron, I was speaking more broadly in terms of the profitability of NCAA postseason championships.  It all adds up to be extremely profitable.

Ron,
There should be streaming.  The school will need to clear the broadcast with the NCAA, which I'm sure they've done, and I believe that we should be able to tune in.
