Start of the Year REMINDER
Ask all conference members to declare their intentions on remaining a member of the conference at the start of each school year.Each conference member should be encouraged to tell the conference commissioner or president when they are talking with another conference, this as a courtesy for everyone. It is not uncommon for schools to be in full-fledged talks before the conference is notified, it should be a priority to notify your conference before that happens. This will help to avoid issues for everyone.

I was proud to announce at the Convention that the NAIA's National Administrative Council has approved our request, by a unanimous vote, to allow all dual NAIA-USCAA members to participate in USCAA approved postseason competition without counting those contests toward the NAIA frequency of play and scheduling limits. This is a step in the right direction of legitimizing our association in the eyes and minds of national organizations that can influence our future. I found Jim Carr, NAIA President and CEO, to be very cooperative, and open to establishing further cooperative efforts in the future.

DAC Kicks Out 2 Current Members For 2011-2012
(Dickinson, ND) -- On Tuesday, August 3, at a meeting comprised of presidents, athletic directors, and coaches, members of the NAIA-affiliated Dakota Athletic Conference voted to move to plan for a five-team schedule and conference beginning July 1, 2011. This decision effectively speeds up the timeframe recently established with the applications from current DAC members Black Hills State University and the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology being formally accepted to candidacy by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). With BHSU and SDSM&T moving forward with their NCAA application, the five-school schedule would have ordinarily been implemented on July 1, 2012; yesterday's decision essentially serves to move up the scheduling change by one year.Dr. Steve Shirley, president of Valley City State University and the current president of the DAC Board of Directors commented, "This is a time of transition for the DAC. The NAIA is a strong association with nearly 300 member colleges and universities, and the five institutions have declared their commitment to the NAIA and look forward to beginning the new schedule. We wish BHSU and SDSM&T well in their future paths, but are also excited to explore a new direction with new possibilities as we focus on the terrific competition and long-term, historic rivalries among our five member schools."
The DAC and its member institutions are affiliated with the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). Dakota State University (SD), Dickinson State University, Jamestown College, Mayville State University, and Valley City State University are the five member institutions who will begin with the new scheduling effective in fall 2011. Coaches and athletic directors will begin the process of planning for the schedules under the new format immediately.

KING AND NORTH GREENVILLE TO JOIN CONFERENCE CAROLINAS
High Point, N.C. - Conference Carolinas announced today that King College and North Greenville University have been accepted for membership in the league. Conference member institutions voted unanimously to accept both schools and expand the league to 13 teams."Conference Carolinas enthusiastically welcomes King College and North Greenville University into our league and looks forward to extending our competitive spirit to the Tornado and Crusaders," said Dr. Betsy Fleming, President of the Conference Carolinas Executive Committee and of Converse College. "Both schools share Conference Carolinas' commitment to developing scholar-athletes who excel both in the classroom and on the playing field, and we are pleased to strengthen our league through their membership."
King College in Bristol, TN and North Greenville University in Tigerville, SC will become full members of Conference Carolinas for the 2011-12 season. Both schools are NCAA Division II members and already play many Conference Carolinas members. The scheduling of sports participation starting in the fall of 2011 allows sufficient time for scheduling changes and orientation to conference membership responsibilities and requirements. Both schools enter the conference as independent Division II members.
Conference Carolinas is uniquely comprised of private colleges and universities with an emphasis on undergraduate education. Conference member recent national championships include basketball, baseball, men's lacrosse, and individual champions in golf and track and field. Student athletes graduate at a rate higher than general student populations. King College and North Greenville University meet and enhance this conference profile.
Since its inception in 1930, the conference has served numerous (25) colleges in North and South Carolina. King College represents the second college outside those states (Longwood of Farmville, VA) and the first member from Tennessee. The conference name, however, will not change.
"It is not often that a conference which shares equal values for academic and athletic excellence has the opportunity to add members having identical values. Fortunately we were presented that opportunity,” stated Commissioner Alan Patterson. "In today's climate of conference alignment often based on income production, it is refreshing that we were able to expand based on like student-athlete educational experiences."

D2 New Membership Issues
CLICK HERE TO READ - DII Council moves forward with requirements for nontraditional courses
The membership discussion involved new conference member requirements and the potential growth and expansion of Division II overall.University of the Sciences President Phil Gerbino, speaking on behalf of the Division II Membership Committee, alerted the Council to the possibility of a consistent expansion of Division II membership that could tax the division’s finite resources and affect championships access for existing members.
A total of 17 institutions currently are in various stages of the Division II membership process. The Membership Committee restricts that number to no more than 30 at any one time.
Various presidents noted that Division II membership potentially faces pressure from all directions, with current Division I, Division III and NAIA members possibly choosing to affiliate for different reasons over the next decade.
Currently, there are 22 Division II conferences, and the Membership Committee has informally identified a ceiling of 25. Gerbino noted that the Membership Committee is encouraging expansion of existing conferences but said that the approach is not really a long-term solution. The governance structure does not control the creation of conferences.
To put the division on the road to a plan, the presidents urged a study of membership matters that would (1) seek to achieve greater understanding of current conference discussions regarding membership and possible expansion, (2) identify strategic priorities in this area and (3) consider the ramifications of what expansion does occur.
The presidents encouraged a study that would model various possibilities, such as the budgetary effects of more conferences, more members, or more conferences with more members. Effects on championships access also would be evaluated.
Division II Vice President Mike Racy said the staff, possibly in concert with a consultant, would begin work on the matter immediately. Initially, the information will go to the Long Range Projections Task Force (recently formed to look at a budget framework for the division for the next 10-14 years), the Membership Committee and the Presidents Council for review and action.
The presidents also gave the Membership Committee permission to explore a requirement that prospective Division II members must have a conference invitation in hand before applying.

SURPRISE!
Updated 6-1-10This is a mild surprise that only 6 first time applicants (including W Va Tech) filed papers to join D2. Sources we had been talking to had indicated that additional schools from California, Tennessee and Oklahoma had hired consultants and had made contact with D2 conferences on future membership.
Speculation is that NAIA schools were concerned about the new amendement that would not allow them to participate in national championships over the membership period, as well as conference tournaments. Faith-based schools had the option of the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) to bridge that time period and had talked with those officials.
Other sources said schools who passed on this time period are waiting for the December 1st application period. This will allow them to compete this fall in NAIA events with no sanctions on them, the current NAIA amendment (on NAIA site) mentions the December 1st period, but did not have it outlined for how schools who enter the NCAA membership during this time would be handled during that time period.
Some schools wanted to see what would happen to those who applied under the new membership application and also results of who was accepted. The speculation is that schools were taking seriously the results of last years process when eight schools were denied membership.
Next step will be to see how many of the 12 schools will be accepted, after that the attention will turn to schools applying at the December 1st deadline. The possibility is that between now and July (2011) up to 30 schools could be joining NCAA D2. D2 conferences are also waiting the outcome of who is accepted as expansion talks are going on in several conferences. One NAIA conference the American Mideast Conference (AMC) is still in limbo for the 2011-12 school year depending on the outcome for Malone, Walsh and Ursuline's applications. One AMC member is also looking at changing to a different AMC conference depending on the outcome.
COMMISSIONER COMMENTS
from - Dell Robinson, Commissioner, Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (NCAA D2)
I think it surprising but the December timeline skews the number a bit.
from - Nathan Salant, Commissioner, Gulf South Conference (NCAA D2)
I was not surprised by the low number because in most cases, the move to the NCAA requires the addition of sports to meet the minimums and a need to add more full-time positions to be more like the typical D-II schools in many areas. Given that many NAIA schools are smaller, private institutions, the current economic situation makes this a less attractive time to add expenses when faculty and staff positions are converted from year-round to 10-month, furloughs are instituted and in many cases, outright staff reductions are implemented.It is also clear that the process is no longer close to "automatic" and that the NCAA has become a lot more demanding in terms of requirements beyond just having enough sports and an interest. This makes sense, too.
The Gulf South Conference is actively seeking two new members for our East Division. We had, and have, candidates, but the economy and other issues have slowed some of those interactions and completely stalled others. This is nothing unusual, and requires patience and continued discussions.
from - Jim Houdeshell, Commissioner, American Mideast Conference (NAIA)
Ursuline College, Malone University, and Walsh University re-applied to NCAA (D.II) from the American Mideast Conference.The number applying for NCAA is a bit lower than expected. The NCAA setting the December 1 date for review of candidates may have slowed the application process. In addition, the NAIA is making every effort to re-assert its role in intercollegiate athletics.
from - Bob Hogue, PacWest Commissioner (NCAA D2)
Dave, I'll admit I was somewhat surprised that only 12 schools applied by the deadline. This might be due to three factors: 1) The fact that there are two deadlines this year, June 1 and December 1; 2) The new NAIA legislation, and 3) The more challenging NCAA II membership application and readiness process. Schools who are applying have learned that they need to get all their ducks in a row right from the beginning of the candidacy period. This thorough process should make for even stronger members of NCAA Division II in the future. I wish the best of luck to all 12 of the schools who applied.
AD COMMENTS
George S. Sliman, Director of Athletics, Carlow University
With regard to the AMC situation, I think we are at the point where we need to be extremely proactive in shaping our future. At Carlow, although we are still committed to the NAIA, we realize that as one of only two NAIA schools in Pennsylvania, we need to keep an open mind to other options. It may end up being a situation where the NAIA leaves us! It really comes down to what is in the best interest of our student-athletes and how we as an institution can provide them with the best possible intercollegiate athletic experience. One thing that we always consider is the impact that participating in athletics has on their academic goals. We try to minimize travel, particularly during the week and exam periods. As it stands now, our weekday trips involve going to the Canton and Cleveland areas for competition against Walsh, Malone and Ursuline and Notre Dame, about 2 hours away. Our longer trips to the New York schools which are over 4 hours are typically on weekends. So although it is alot of travel, it is still manageable from a missed class and budget perspective.I was surprised that only 12 schools applied to DII but I think others will take a "wait and see" approach and may apply in December. With respect to the AMC, at least we will know by July if our 3 schools - Walsh, Malone and Ursuline are accepted and then can plan accordingly. The downside from a conference perspective is that with only 12 schools applying, the probability of all 3 being accepted increases. That being said, I truly hope that they are accepted because obviously, they feel that is in the best interest of their students and institutions and that is what intercollegiate athletics is about.

When Does DII Stop Taking New Members?
Below is a reply from a source about the future number of members in NCAA D2 -Good question about shutting the door on the process, I think it will be some time before that occurs. The reason I say that is Division II could theoretically sustain a membership of between 330 to 340 members before we would have to consider closing off membership. Right now we sit at about 295 active members so we definitely have room before we hit that ceiling. The reason why we say 330 to 340 is the maximum is due to the fact that having that many members will still allow us to keep our ratio of access to championships at a pretty good level. Right now our ratio is about 15:1 in terms of active schools to championships access and getting up to 330 to 340 would raise it to 17:1 which is where the division feels would be as high as they (the membership) feels comfortable going. That doesn’t even factor in how many DII schools will decide to reclassify to DI when the moratorium is lifted next year. Not sure how many DII schools will make the jump to DI, but it is safe to assume that there will be some.
In the next year there could be 30 new D2 members accepted. The first 10 will most likely happen with the the June 1st (2010) process, December (2010) and June (2011). The big "unknown" will be how many schools will apply for DI membership during the next process after the moratorium.

Sooner Athletic Conference (NAIA)
(6-21-10) - We asked several Sooner Athletic Conference (NAIA) member schools about a recent message board posting that had their schools looking at future D2 Membership. These schools were also mentioned to have been talking with the Gulf South Conference Arkansas schools who are looking at forming a new D2 conference. Several D2 Oklahoma schools are also considering the new conference. The new conference was discussed this past weekend at D2 meetings in Indianapolis.
REPLIES TO OUR REQUEST

Bobby Martin, Director of Athletics, Southern Nazarene University
"SNU and our student athletes have benefited greatly from the long relationship we've had with the SAC and the NAIA. No decision has been made to leave these associations; however, we have decided to explore the possibility of making application for NCAA DII membership."updated 6-21-10
Will add other replies as we receive them.
Steven J. Valencia, Associate Vice President for University Relations, Northwestern Oklahoma State University
"Northwestern continually evaluates its athletic affiliations and will explore any beneficial opportunities. We are closely following developments involving peer institutions."
Mike E. O'Neal, President, Oklahoma Christian University
Oklahoma Christian University is pleased with our affiliation in the NAIA. We are constantly in a mode of evaluation of the best place for the University’s athletics, and believe for now that the NAIA is the best place for us to be. We will continue to enjoy great competition within SAC and with members who elect to make the transition to DII.
Norris M. Russell, Director of Athletics, Oklahoma Baptist University
Thank you for your inquiry. Oklahoma Baptist University is not pursuing any changes in national athletic association affiliation. References to our university in the message board posting are not accurate.EDITOR'S NOTE - Thanks to these schools for their quick reply!

No D2 For Mount Vernon Nazarene
4-28-10 - With the announcement of a new part-time AD, Mount Vernon Nazarene will not be seeking NCAA D2 status. One of the commitments needed to become D2 is to have a full-time athletic director in place.Also sources have informed us that Mount Vernon Nazarene may be close to moving to a new NAIA conference and with this announcement that should happen very soon. MVNU is currently a member of the devastated American Mideast Conference which in a statement recently to the Senior Reports reported that one member was talking with another NAIA conference.

New NCAA D2 Members Need A Conference
written by Dave Schmidt - THE SENIOR REPORTS(3-25-10) - In the next 3 years 30 schools may become new members of NCAA Division 2. All of these schools will need a conference affiliation when they apply to become D2 according to the new membership application. This is something that will cause a school to be accepted or denied admission. This stipulation can also be a positive for a conference looking to expand and solidify it's membership base.
In conversation with East Coast Conference Commissioner Bob Dranoff, it was noted that the ECC is working with consultants through an NCAA Division II Membership Grant focused on exploring membership growth in their region. The ECC does have an interest in a rational expansion that makes sense for its current members. One concept would be to look at institutions from outside its current footprint that may come together as a new division within the existing conference.
CLICK HERE - East Coast Conference- www.eccsports.org
The west coast is a part of the country that would benefit from a larger base of D2 members as well. It will most likely be a plus for schools looking to become D2 members to be associated with a west coast conference or a conference like the ECC who has a smaller number of members (8 presently). Solidifying the base is important, conferences who want to do that will look for schools who want to be admitted to D2 membership.
Just got a confirmation email from Ursuline AD Cindy McKnight that they will be trying the D2 membership process again... to date 3 of the 4 AMC members who where not accepted last year said that they will seek D2 membership... Malone and Walsh have also indicated they will apply again...Mount Vernon Nazarene has not made an official announcement to date.

New D1 Standards From New Members
The Division I Board of Directors endorsed the recommendations for new Division I membership standards. The recommendations include:A four-year reclassification process with election to active membership in the fifth year.
Institutions must be active members of Division II for at least five years before beginning the reclassification process to become a Division I institution.
Reclassifying institutions must meet Division I requirements upon beginning the process to become Division I members.
An application fee (the amount to be determined by either the estimated annual average value of direct benefits through distributions and championships or the median annual value of direct benefits through distributions and championships).
All potential Division I members must have a bona fide offer of membership in a Division I conference before beginning the reclassification process.
The recommendations will be drafted as legislative proposals, and the Board will introduce them into the 2010-11 legislative cycle. New standards should be in place when the moratorium on new Division I members expires in August 2011.

Kiki Baker Barnes, Dillard University - Athletic Director
added 9-30-09
This a tremendous loss for the GCAC. I personally understand why they chose the SSAC. Several of those schools were charter members of GCAC like my school, Tougaloo College,MS. We spent a lot of time, human resourses along with finances putting the GCAC together. I knew this time was coming, but I did not really think it was this close. We were invited to SSAC for membership. Due to the number of Sports being offered,Tougaloo College finacially could not add seven more sports to its athletics program.The GCAC will meet in N.O.LA, Oct.5th and 6th. I do not know the future of GCAC. Hopefully, we can add more schools to fill that void left by former Conference members.I have made contact with several schools.
