Title: USA South Conference splitting into two.
Post by: VAFury on May 16, 2022, 08:15:44 AM
The largest D3 conference in the country is splitting into two conferences beginning in the fall. 

Agnes Scott, Berea, Covenant, Huntingdon, LaGrange, Maryville, Piedmont and Wesleyan are leaving to form the CCS (Collegiate Conference of the South).

Greensboro, Mary Baldwin, Meredith, Methodist, NC Wesleyan, Pfeiffer, Salem, Southern Virginia, William Peace and Brevard remain as USA South.

Averett had already announced they were leaving to join ODAC.

Doesn't sound like much is really logistically changing as the USA South played in a two division East/West format anyway.  What I imagine will change is that the group should go from one automatic tournament bid, to each conference having its own automatic bid.

Will the CCS get an auto bid immediately or will they have to wait a couple of years?

2 year wait. Pool B in 22-23 and 23-24, Pool A starting fall 2024.

That's OK -- the sites are no longer related.
