Here's a fun thought....

What can Santa get the true D3hoops fan for Christmas?

Are there any books out there that deal strictly With D3 sports, or even better, D3 Basketball?
Does D3hoops.com have clothing or other items with the D3hoops.com emblem on it?
Are there still NCAA D3 Basketball manuals put out each year?
Are there schools that have books dedicated to their basketball history?  I remember Hope had one, but I'm not sure where mine is after our move....
How about videos?

Any other ideas?

Records of D3 conferences vs D3 Non Conference Opponents was a subject of interest at the end of last season, so I will post (as regularly as time allows) these records during the season..

I just learned that exhibition games, previously limited to preseason dates only, are now permitted during the in season schedule.   There is no date limitation.   In prior years, exhibition games were easy to identify because they occurred before the permissable season opening date.  Now these in season games will be difficult to identify, leading to potential errors in stating team win-loss records and statistics.  In scheduling for 2015-16 posted on some sites, I've already found 2 examples of exhibition games within the season, unidentified as such on team schedules.  I wonder if there is a requirement that these games are formally I.D.'d to the NCAA, and obviously D3hoops.com needs to be careful in their reporting with accuracy....

D3 schools are involved in the incredible amount of 83 Tournaments this weekend ....   here are some of the interesting ones:

Provident Pride of Maryland Tourney   -  8 D3 schools from Maryland representing several conferences - every state should do this!!

Al Van Wie Tourney  -  Wooster hosts St Thomas, Carnegie Mellon, and Heidelberg

Albion Tourney  -  Albion Hosts Bluffton, Depauw, and Edgewood

Carthage College Tipoff  -  Carthage has Aurora, UW Platteville, UW Whitewater

Gettysburg Tourney  -  Gettysburg has Catholic, Messiah, and Wittenberg

Illinois College Tourney  -  Illinois College hosts Milwaukee Engr, Nebraska Wesleyan, and Simpson

Scotty Wood   -  Moravian has Mulenburg, Oneonta, and William Paterson

UD Tipoff   -  Dallas, Rust, Austin, Sul Ross

Don Glick  -  Bridgewater hosts Averett East Mennonite, Wesley

Chicago Midway  -  Chicago has Earlham, Southwestern, Rose Hulman

Lee Pfund  -  Wheaton hosts McMurry, Ohio Northern, Trine

Titan Classic has IWU, Wash U, Ohio Wesleyan, and J&W

Many others have three decent teams and a podunk,  and others have a good championship game with apparent lopsided winners the first night....

some possible good championship games not in the group above

RPI should play MIT at RPI 
Scranton vs John Carroll at Scranton
Williams will play LAsell or Cortland State
Widener may play Rowan
North Central could play Mississippi College
Amherst could play Ithaca

I'm setting this up in hopes that the real data hounds out there will post a note here when they find a schedule has been posted on a school's site.  That way any of us who are interested will have only this topic area to go to this summer and early fall to see who has schedules posted rather than look all around.  It will make things easier until Pat turns the site's schedule area to 07-08.

I have found a schedule posted already  -  Calvin.   Any others?
