Isn't the Landmark officially all Mid-Atlantic?

Yes, my mistake. Should read Mid-Atlantic with Merchant Marine moving over from the Atlantic.

According to this http://www.d3hoops.com/teams/region/south-men Spalding remains in the South Region.

[Patrick Coleman]

We'll have to confirm that when the handbook gets published.

That was the first place I looked.

I was wondering  if the site hadn't changed it yet, or were they really still going to be in the South.  About a month or two ago the regional boards were all updated.  I thought it odd that Spalding wasn't updated or that the NCAA just spent a lot of time realigning D3 to put conferences in the same region but left Spalding in the South.

I certainly don't know if what you and I saw is correct. Nor do I have any insight into whatever logic the NCAA might be using. Perhaps Mr. Coleman can clarify.

I was pretty sure that part of the announcement was that no conference (save the UAA) would be split between regions any longer.  I could be wrong.

That was my assumption as well, which is why I was surprised to find Spalding still in the South.

[Patrick Coleman]

Spalding and the SLIAC weren't mentioned in the document we got in 2013.

Not entirely true as the GSAC has the same governance as the UAA.

I wonder if the NCAA was looking to move a couple schools along since they initially had five scheduled to enter year three and none scheduled for year four.

AMCC is moving from multi-region to Great Lakes, or did that happen already?
