A reclassifying school playing D2 in Year 1 has happened on rare occasions. Northwestern Oklahoma State, Frostburg State, South Carolina-Beaufort, Allen, Edward Waters, and D'Youville partially did it (their Year 1 was 2020-21 when D3 did not compete until the spring sport season).

DII Presidents Council approves supplemental distribution of $13,500 per school
The Division II Presidents Council approved a recommendation on how to allocate a total of $4.4 million that includes a surplus from the 2022-23 budget plus unallocated revenue from 2023-24. Of note, the approval will allocate roughly $3.9 million of the total for a supplemental distribution to Division II schools, approximately $13,500 per school, which will be sent to Division II members in February.
The Presidents Council also approved the triennial budget recommendations for Division II championships, which included $1.3 million annually for various championships enhancements and initiatives beginning with the 2024-25 academic year. The recommendations include additional participation opportunities for student-athletes through bracket expansions in field hockey and men's and women's lacrosse and increased field sizes in women's golf and men's and women's indoor and outdoor track and field.

Bracket expansion in Field Hockey and Lacrosse has been sorely needed for years. I don't get the increased field size for Women's Golf; there's not enough teams to warrant the current field size.

Women's golf currently has a field of 48 compared to 80 in men's, when there are only 18 fewer sponsoring schools.

Interestingly, this actually made the newscasts in Pittsburgh, which is something that rarely happens for the PSAC schools in Western Pennsylvania, let alone what strikes me as a "commuter" school in Downtown Pittsburgh:

FWIW, Point Park plays their "home" basketball games at the Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC-Allegheny campus) in the North Side of Pittsburgh. An interesting move, but it seems like the MEC was more desperate to get to 12 teams, because I don't know that there was any chatter about Point Park moving to D2, let along joining the MEC.Cal U (Pa.)

I always thought the norm was for schools to apply as soon as they make their intentions to move to D2 clear, and then spend the first year of reclassification finishing out their obligations to their NAIA or D3 conference before playing a D2 schedule. Waiting an extra year to apply just to spend a third year playing a D2 schedule while ineligible for championships is kinda strange to me... Wonder what their hesitation is?Cal U (Pa.) Class of 2014

Sort of flew under the radar with the Week 0 announcement, but the NCAA also drafted legislation to lower the number of sponsoring schools necessary to sponsor a Division II championship to 35, and remove exceptions for Olympic sports. The only sport this affects is women's rowing, which sits at 15 sponsoring schools right now, so we probably won't see that as a sponsored sport at the D-II level in the next few years.

Announced in November, but I didn't see it until today... Lincoln (PA) baseball and women's soccer are moving from the ECC to the CACC next season. https://lulions.com/news/2023/11/28/...-baseball.aspx

I fear they are trying to grow by adding some of those. I hope not.Last edited by Predatory Primates; 02-13-2024, 12:07 PM.
