New Haven will be "D1". Which is pretty much a joke. In the GLIAC they would probably be 4th or 5th....

The NCAA only cares about one thing. March Madness. And they will do everything they can to protect it. It is what help funds athletics at many universities....

Basketball Jones is a classic! Nobody under the age of 50 would get it though! They wouldn't even get Cheech and Chong!...

I will counter your Monkees with Paul Revere and the Raiders....

I like the idea of new names. Actually the easiest way would be NCAA - Diamond Division, followed by Gold (non-Power 4), Silver (D2), and Bronze (D3)....

I remember D1aa! The good times!

Seriously there is going to have to be a new model. There is Power 4 + Notre Dame. That is really the...

Props up for having one of the best mascot names though.

Cutting sports means the school is just one step from closing. Once you lose...

Indeed they was. And just starting a football program. Been an NAIA school for decades. My guess is they are making the move to D2 very soon. Malone,...

It's definitely an ego thing. But your athletics will accomplish nothing in the grand scheme of things.

IDK. Maybe its time for the NCAA...

I don't get this fascination with moving to D1 and then joining one of the worst conferences out there. But then there are a lot of D1 schools in the...

D3/NAIA is a farm system for D2 now. D2 is a farm system for lower tiered D1 schools. Lower tiered D1 schools are a farm system for major D1 schools....

Grand Valley is bigger than all but 3 MAC schools. What does that say.

But I agree, the divisional system is completely broke. In D1 you...

Interesting how Ferris, a D2 football school, can attract D1 football players. Not just D1 football players, but ones that can then transfer to Power...

From looking at the records of teams at Erskin College, they need all the help they can get!...

[Bballfan]

Very few schools can get multiple D1 caliber players to go D2 anymore. Even when there are a number of crappy D1 schools that couldn't beat better D2...

[Bballfan]

True. But I look at schools like Lindenwood as a D1 pretender. Amy has had some success there so pretty much a guarantee she will be leaving there soon...

Lewis - 3 coaches in 4 years
Quincy - 3 coaches in 4 years
Indy - 3 coaches in 4 years

And these coaches left for bad D1 jobs....

Assistant coach for two years in college yea. No experience recruiting, with the portal, etc. No. College basketball is a lot more than coaching. ...

Quincy hired their women's coach. Former player Ali Schwagmeyer. She certainly had an impressive basketball career, but her coaching career is a joke....

That didn't take long after their announcement to "pull back" from closing a few days ago.

It does make you wonder how institutions...
