...this is one of those nights when you skate out the big guy and remove somebody (the coach, too)....ps. how can something be an NCAA record when the sacrificial lamb is not an NCAA program ?.....

Poo poo.

Houghton does not have a Phi Beta Kappa chapter.  That doesn't help their case.

.....no football, hockey and lacrosse probably doesn't help their case either...

If I were a betting man, I would wager a large sum that Houghton College would not join NESCAC in the foreseeable future.

.....I can't believe that this Houghton going to the NESCAC isn't a mistaken report from the get-go...I'll bet what they mean is Houghton playing in the NEAC with the likes of Keuka, Medaille, Cazenovia etc....that's a conference that runs through western NY and western PA and would seem to make way more sense.....

....sorry about that last non-post.....what i meant to say was, if a school like dallas was to add lacrosse as a sport, they may not have that hard of a time coming up with players. there are 64 high school teams in texas plus if you include "bordering states" like colorado (48 teams) and missouri (32 teams), that's really not such a bad pool for your average d3 team especially since, at this point, you are only competing against club teams in the state( not that there's anything wrong with club teams). i did find it interesting (if i read that d3/d4 report correctly) that the projected 10 year growth for lacrosse at the d3 level was one more program. i can't really say i know much about the gathering of statistics, but a ludicrous projection like that makes me wonder how much else in that report is skewered one direction or another.

Well, if there is a split i think you would have to pencil in the SCAC to go to d4. My guess is your also looking at some conference membership changes if a d4 happens. For instance, I'd agree with the assumption that  Oglethorpe might not stick with the scac. Barring emory or wash u leaving the UAA, not gonna happen unless the uaa has major issues with going to d4,  i'd think UofDallas would get an invite to the SCAC. Also could see the ncac change up and no doubt depauw probably would like to land a spot there which would open another invite for the scac to get back to 12. In that case if Centenary  really is going d3-4, than they probably would land in the scac.

cush, welcome aboard!   

UDallas needs to add one more women's sport and two more men.

Possible candidates might be indoor track for both or tennis for both or adding men's lacrosse to the women's program.

I think that UDallas is most likely to add Lacrosse outside the SCAC schools, but finding enough lacrosse players in Texas in 2007 is still tough.
