CLICK HERE - Regulations Governing Conference Membership For D2

Require that an active Division II conference (or a conference applying for Division II membership) must have taken action to allow an institution to join the conference as a full member before that institution can be considered for active membership.

"MAD RUSH" To D2 May Be Done

Reasons why we see schools taking a "second look" at the move.

1- Economic conditions have not improved as fast as some would have liked to have seen, this includes the recent price jump in gas and transportation cost.

2- Concerns of schools in finding a D2 conference that will meet their athletic needs or just finding a conference to sponsor them. There are concerns about how many conferences that D2 will allowed to be certified in the future. At this point in time no limit has been voted on, but the issue has been discussed among current members. The potential loss of post-season play due to not finding a conference home after being accepted.

3- Concerns of future membership requirements that might add additional burdens to the athletic budget. Over the past several years the application continues to grow with more requirements of new members.

4- Schools are concerned about the length of time it will take to be approved for membership, this is due to the NCAA having a limit of 8 new members being accepted per year. Schools also are not willing to possibly be denied membership and hope to avoid the bad PR and embarrassment related to this.

5- Research shows that some consultants are not hearing from as many NAIA schools on studies to be completed as in the past. Plus, schools who have done studies and decided to pass up this years process.

6- Schools have concerns about adding additional full-time staff during this economy. Staffing requirements are costing more then earlier expected.

7- Schools have had enough time to consider the recent "rush" to switch from the NAIA and NCAA and have decided it is best to not move forward at this time. D2 helped with this process by limiting the number of schools it has added each year. Also schools are talking with other schools who are currently going through the process and seeing the time and effort it takes to make the move.

This July we will see how the process has changed and the effect it will have on the future D2 membership process.

University of North Alabama

Mr. Schmidt,

This past June our Board of Trustees adopted a resolution that will take UNA to Division I athletics provided a series of benchmarks are achieved over the ensuing 12 months. One of those benchmarks is to meet all NCAA requirements for D-I status, and among those requirements is an invitation to membership from an established D-I conference. We have had discussions with the Ohio Valley Conference about our interest in them and their possible interest in UNA. The OVC understands that another of our benchmarks is a fundraising goal of $3M over this next year, which we are in the early stages of initiating, and that we must show that there is community support for this move. UNA holds the OVC in very high regard and believes that our university is a good fit athletically and academically with their member universities. As these initiatives and discussions are unfolding, we should note that the Gulf South Conference is having excellent success in rebuilding and is emerging from its recent loss of six members as a strong and vital league. Thus, to answer your initial question, the future for UNA athletics is quite secure.

UNA President Dr.Bill Cale

Ohio Valley Conference

email reply to THE SENIOR REPORTS

As far as specific schools go, it has been and remains our policy that we do not publicly comment on schools who are not members of the Ohio Valley Conference.

More broadly on expansion, we have said before that the OVC is not out to add members simply to add members to our Conference. However, if the right opportunity presented itself with an institution that makes sense and would be a good fit both academically and athletically, then we would move forward from that point.

from Kyle Schwartz, Assistant Commissioner for Media Relations, Ohio Valley Conference

EDITOR'S NOTE - A September meeting of OVC Presidents will take place -- if there is business relating to membership to discuss that would be a time when it would happen (whether it was an official agenda item or not).

NCAA DECISION ON DAVENPORT APPLICATION - Davenport Remains in NAIA

Davenport began the consideration for application into NCAA Division II in December of 2009 and completed the application and strategic plan after completing a feasibility study. The application was submitted to the NCAA on June 1, 2011.

According to an NCAA spokesman that was on the call with DU officials, this was one of the most competitive years for application based on the 16 schools that applied.

“As we are disappointed with the decision, we felt we put forward a strong application for consideration to start the Division II membership process, but like the NCAA stated, it was a very competitive year to gain an invitation, said Director of Athletics Paul Lowden. ”We will focus our efforts on evaluating what the next step will be for Davenport University’s athletic department.”

Davenport University had a banner year in 2010-11 highlighted by three national championships and the school captured its first ever Wolverine Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC) All-Sports Trophy. The school also had its highest finish in the NACDA Learfield Director’s Cup Standings in the NAIA.

Northwestern Oklahoma State University

NORTHWESTERN’S BID FOR NCAA MEMBERSHIP TURNED DOWN

Dr. Janet Cunningham, university president, was informed Tuesday by the NCAA Division II membership committee that Northwestern will not be granted candidacy status for the 2011-12 academic year.

“The decision is disappointing, however, we knew going into this process that at least 16 schools were vying for only a limited number of slots,” said Cunningham. “The NCAA received a number of strong applications, including ours, but the limited number of openings made it an extremely competitive process.” Cunningham said the decision will not deter the school from its goal of moving to the NCAA.

“The factors that led us to seek NCAA membership are still in place and we intend to enhance our application and reapply at the next available opportunity,” she said.

Despite the setback, officials with the Great American Conference continue to support their decision to offer the institution provisional membership.

"We're disappointed that Northwestern was not accepted into the NCAA Division II membership process this cycle, but the Great American Conference stands behind the school,” said Will Prewett, commissioner. “The GAC is very confident that this will only be a delay in Northwestern’s eventual admission to the conference and Division II. We will do all that we can to aid in that process."

D2 SCOREBOARD

EDITOR'S NOTE

Mid-South Conference Summer meeting

updated 6-2-11

Oklahoma Christian University

updated 6-1-11

16 APPLICANTS

We also think that two other schools are a part of the last three schools not verified by these schools - Point Park University and Rogers State University. This based on several information sources.

According to D2 membership possibly more then eight schools could be accepted if applications meet the high standards of application during this process.

EDITOR'S NOTE

No confirmation from these 2 schools, but all indications are that they have applied for D2 membership.

Davenport University (NAIA) and McMurry University (D3). Davenport University's AD Paul Lowden has just stepped down as Hockey Coach, something that D2 prefers and requires that the AD not be in a coaching position. McMurry's web site confirmed earlier this year that the board approved the move to D2.

EDITOR'S NOTE

We asked the NCAA to verify D2 applications as they came in for the upcoming June period. Below is their email reply to us:

Good Afternoon Dave,

Thank you for your continued interest in the Division II membership process. We will not be releasing information regarding applicants for Division II membership until the Division II Membership Committee has an opportunity to review each application and make a determination regarding Division II membership. Please look for an official press release on or after July 11, 2011. If you have additional question, please let me know.

Leslie

Leslie Schuemann - Assistant Director of Academic and Membership Affairs - National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)

We are deeply disappointed in this reply, especially when it involves state schools who are filing an application. We will continue to update our list below when schools update us. A special thanks to all of the schools below who have replied to our request. Our hope was to verify the process and allow schools applying to D2 to know the playing field. Apparently the NCAA (both D2 and D3) feel that "secret" meetings outweigh the common good of future members and the public.

The Little East Conference office will launch its newest feature on Feb. 15 by showcasing two of the conference’s long-standing basketball rivalries. The first contest will pit Eastern Connecticut State University at Western Connecticut State University in a crucial women’s basketball tilt at 5:30 p.m. Approximately two hours later, fans will be able to view the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and Rhode Island College men’s basketball game from Providence.

The conference office will also select a pair of marquee matchups on the final afternoon of the Little East schedule on Saturday, Feb. 19. These four conference contests will serve as a prelude to the 2011 Little East Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championship. The semifinal and championship rounds of the men’s and women’s tournament will be broadcasted on both LittleEast.tv and LittleEast.mobi between Friday, February 26 and Saturday, February 27. The Little East champion will earn an automatic qualifier into the 2011 NCAA Division III Tournament.

The Little East debuted LittleEast.tv on Feb. 4, 2008, when the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth hosted Tufts University in a men’s basketball non-conference game. Since its initial appearance, the Little East has expanded its coverage to all 19 championship sports. During the 2009-10 academic year, the conference office video-streamed a total of 16 Little East Championships. The Little East in partnership with Eastern Connecticut State University broadcasted both the 2009 and 2010 NCAA Division III Baseball New England Regional Championships in Mansfield, Conn. attracting over 40,000 combined viewers.
