Region 7 men's basketball / Re: MBB: Ohio Athletic Confere...
Last post by Dr. Acula - April 30, 2026, 06:41:53 PMThat is an absolutely crushing loss. I don't know how you can come close to replacing someone like Fuline. He gave us a helluva 15 years and a lot of fun as a fan. I've said before that he turned Mount hoops into appointment viewing for me. I knew every tip time because I was going to watch every game if I could. Sad day for all of us, but a wonderful day for Fuline and his family.
My hope is that he goes to UC for a stint and then gets a D1 HC job at somewhere like YSU/MAC school if that's what he wants. He's certainly paid his dues. And I will certainly be rooting for him no matter where he goes in the future. Thanks for the ride, Coach!

Region 1 men's basketball / Re: MBB: NESCAC
Last post by el_jefe_90 - April 30, 2026, 05:52:57 PM@nescac1 - I heard Watson may have D2 Nova Southeastern on his radar. They have been a D2 power over the last few years. They are in the same conference as U of Tampa. Would be fun to see those two possibly square off against each other.

Region 1 men's basketball / Re: MBB: NESCAC
Last post by nescac1 - April 30, 2026, 05:30:30 PMJames Lafrance ends up transferring to D2 University of Tampa. Dylan Watson is still available in the portal, and if Conn College loses him as well, that's a brutal off-season.
Seems like a very strong (and long-expected) hire for Colby. McLaughlin is certainly a very proven coach and has an elite resume for a D3 hire. He will be without Civello and top recruit Nolan Ames, but there is still a fair amount of veteran talent returning at Colby and even without Ames, a solid incoming class of recruits that he will inherit.

Men's soccer / Re: 2026 Schedules

After losing the first four games last season (home to Stockton, away to three ranked opponents - Rowan, Denison, and Kenyon) and losing to Lynchburg at a neutral site along the way to a historically bad season (3-11-3 and 1-6-2 in conference), F&M's schedule has a bit different look this year. Whether that is because they crafted it to give them a better chance of success or because it is harder to schedule highly ranked opponents coming off a losing season is not clear. They still play W&L, which is usually tough and is playing @ Johns Hopkins on the same weekend, but otherwise Rutgers-Newark and Juniata come on to the schedule with W&L and F&M plays two fewer games overall. Not easy opponents, but not quite the same challenge or travel distance they took on in 2025.
Previous year in 2024 they still had some talent and grinded out some wins. FY 2025 was imo foreseeable. Definitely, a good step back for F&M to rebuild with this schedule. Thinking that stronger teams don't want to play F&M as beating them won't mean much.
Needed a reset. It'll be a while till they get back into the mix. Going to have to score goals which they absolutely did not last year. So really not competitive unfortunately.
I'm thinking that this might not be their final schedule. Just odd to be out so soon. Usually not out till late June or so, last 2 years in late June and July in 2023. So I'm thinking that they will schedule 1 or 2 games. They have three holes in their schedule (play Saturday and then the next Sat). Lots of D3 soccer teams in PA (assuming that they will be open in the Fall)

A pretty good pick-up for NYU. I am still waiting to see where teammate Alex Zakheim ends up...

General Division III issues / Re: Future of Division III
Last post by WUPHF - April 30, 2026, 03:16:50 PMQuote from: Gregory Sager on April 30, 2026, 12:06:01 PMTennis is actually a lucrative -- I don't like to use that word in connection with D3, but if we're being honest it's a major consideration in terms of which students are paying full boat (or at least mostly out-of-pocket) at your typical D3 private and which ones are likely drawing a lot of aid -- sport at the D3 level, even with the small rosters, provided that you have six functional, well-kept courts on campus. Lakeland doesn't; it rents the courts at nearby Howards Grove High School. If you're renting, you're spending, and if you're spending and you bring a small roster to the table, the higher-ups may decide that you're more trouble than you're worth at a small private D3 that is pinching pennies in the current demographic environment.
Right, just less lucrative with the discontinuation of tennis being less surprising than other sports, in my opinion.
Tennis court maintenance is pretty expensive too and arguably seen by institutions as being less important than maintaining an on-campus football field or field house.
