This was news to me until yesterday when @D3fanboy pointed it out. I did some asking around and got nowhere. Very curious what is going on there.

I also did some social media sleuthing without finding anything. No obvious announcements of him going elsewhere.

Finlandia has been closed for a while.
The number of days of practice before depends on when the first day of classes is and is not universally 23 days before.
"Under Maynard" what you describe is what the rules allowed and is basically how all D-III schools operated until the member schools voted in rules that were more appropriate for student-athlete well-being.

Yes, or a new login can be created for new SIDs, etc. A number of SIDs do, including ones in the WIAC, but not all of them.

Thank goodness.

Bummer. It'll be really hard to get box scores out of there on our site now.

Yeah, agreed that it's one thing to play those teams once rather than two or three times where they stand between you and an automatic bid.

Presumably in going from a two-year to four-year school, they will gain some in enrollment?

That is definitely interesting to ponder Marymount going back to the C2C. They were not competitive with Salisbury and Mary Washington in their long years in the CAC and it didn't get better when CNU came in. I don't think those things will have changed. Meanwhile, Marymount has won the commissioner's cup three years running in the AEC.

I know the CCIW is already committing a team to a postseason bowl, but they would also be a good match for an ARC runner-up.

If so, this is unusual, but it would be a big benefit to the UAA.

We spent a lot of time on this in our podcast last month.

I believe wildcat11 was one of those.

I learned about it when I was covering Catholic in 1994. It's a solid strategy.

Converting QBs to other positions is quite common.

St. Mary's is a public school in Maryland as well but I don't know the details as to whether they belong specifically to the University System of Maryland.

Quote from: justafan12 on June 09, 2025, 09:27:07 AMSomeone please explain to me how a player can be national player of the year and not even be the player of the year in her own conference.  D3 awards can be a bit strange at times.

One year the national player of the year was only a 2nd team AA. 

Guessing it was because she was the national player of the year last year when her team won the national title, and whoever voted this year did so with name recognition as a primary factor.

But from a more hypothetical standpoint -- these things can happen if a player has a great postseason that elevates them above where they were a month earlier. It could happen if a conference votes solely on conference games and ignores great performances by players in the non-conference portion of their schedule.

I am guessing you're referring to 2016 with the other oddity? I do see that was the first year they had a national player of the year, and perhaps they didn't have all of their procedures in place. They didn't have anyone from UT-Tyler on the first team to choose from -- the mistake is probably not having Batten on the first team in the first place, rather than elevating her to player of the year after she posted an 0.29 ERA in the supers and World Series.
