That's great. Revier is in the same primary conference with Norwich. Maybe the two will be mates in the New England Hockey Conference.

The D2 Membership Committee meeting: July 2020 Report

A key item.


Paine was one of the schools who received a gift to start Men's Volleyball. This will impact the SIAC's ability to move forward with the sport.

Wait, they released the July report and it's still July?!

A key item.

Paine College Division II membership status. Staff provided an update that Paine College forfeited its active member status in Division II on May 29, 2020, due to a loss of regional accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges [see NCAA Division II Constitution 3.3.5.2 (Removal of Accreditation)].

Little coverage? More like no coverage. The latest news on Allen's website is about wrestling on May 21. The only reason we know anything about them is from the February Membership Committee report and today's announcement by the committee. CSI even did a fun and exciting video just for advancing to Year 2.

The Columbia, SC media barely gives D2 member Benedict College any coverage and they are literally across the street from Allen. It's SC Gamecocks and everyone else. Right now Allen doesn't have an SID staff; it's being run by the AD. The school returned to football in 2018, so it's going to take them some time to get notoriety, aka they are going to have to win more games first.

I wonder when we'll here more on CETYS after Mexican teams being allowed into the NCAA. I know there was talk of them in the GNAC and that they were considering the move.

The talk about CETYS joining the CCAA and GNAC football was non-stop in the latter half of 2017. That was when they opened the season at Humboldt State. D2 voted to allow Mexican members in January 2018. By March 2018 all talk about CETYS and D2 had stopped. It would be interesting to know where that stands now.
