They will get the visa as long as they have not posted pro-Hamas or anti-Israel sentiment on Instagram, Tik Tok, or Twitter.

Greta Thunberg would not get a visa if applying today.

General Division III issues / Re: Flo Sports

alumnx or alumnux = all graduates and or former students (gender neutral) of a UAA institution.

Clark is interesting in that it was arguably the first research university and in the beginning, only offered graduate programs.  But the university never started or absorbed a medical school and is not a land grant institution and hence, the historical trajectory of the institution was never going to allow it to resemble a Case Western Reserve or Ohio State University.

Plainfield changed the name to Northwestern, a reference to the Northwestern Territory of Ohio, Illinois, Michigan before changing again to North Central.

Quote from: GusD on May 21, 2025, 11:30:03 AM*** The NCC football uniforms, as well as those for all the other sports, may soon require a name change. While the move, as reported in the Chicago Tribune, is nowhere near finalized and requires further discussion and approval the NCC Board, as part of a larger strategic planning process, is strongly considering a potential name change from North Central College to Naperville University!

They should change it back to Plainfield College.

Hoopdirt is reporting that NYU has hired Waleed Farid from Ithaca and that Carnegie Mellon's top choice changed his mind.

Quote from: nescac1 on May 20, 2025, 03:43:25 PMJust saw posted that Vassar's coach is going to be the choice for CMU.  A very good hire and if he could convince all-American Shea Fitzgerald to join him, it would certainly make things a lot more interesting for them the next two years ...

Not yet official, but probably true.

I agree with the last few posts, though ironically, Rochester could be competing for fourth or fifth in the league next season if Malachi Moore returns, given the state of the league.

I was wrong last season and the season prior about the number of late arrivals to Division III from the transfer portal, but I still think the transfer culture and the fallout from the settlement roster limits, whatever the status, could mean more sophomore or junior transfers this season.

But the days of the graduate transfer all-star teams appear to be over.

Darren Rubin from Denison is headed to NYU.

Interesting to see two commits for the Violets prior to naming a head coach, but this may mean that a hire has been made.

In 2025-2026, Emory will be a top 10 team from start to finish. 

Washington University may drop in the preseason polls, but will finish as a top 10 team if everyone is more or less healthy.

I won't speak for any basketball coaches but I can confirm multiple NESCAC Head Football Coaches are on 3 year contracts.

Thanks, I should stop posting in the NESCAC thread until I have first-hand knowledge to contribute.  That really surprises me though.

I would be surprised if any NESCAC coach is on a contract.

Contracts are typically for positions and employees that have a market value that exceeds that of a basketball coach at 2,000 student Division III school.

Colby probably employs coaches as exempt, at-will employees, allowing the employer or employee to separate at anytime without notice with limited protections against discrimination, retaliation.
