MBB: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

The elimination of the Prop-48 exemption (generally termed the 'Rowan rule') suggests that d3 DOES believe in certain limits on 4th-year transfers. (For those of recent vintage, Rowan won the title in 1996 with at least 2 Prop-48 transfers - i.e., those who lost a year of eligibility in d1 because of low SAT scores, but who got a fourth year in d3. Evidently, d3 felt this was a bastardization of 'student-athlete' standards in d3, as the 'loophole' was closed before the following year.)

How to draw a line seems to be the hold-up.

So far, drawing the line at "not giving back a year of eligibility that was taken away" seems to be a very reasonable standard and I have not heard any mass national groundswell for anything more restrictive.

Chapman is in.

Step back from the ledge, OxyBob! Don't do it! Don't do it! You have so many other things to live for!

Oxy still won't schedule Chapman until 2012-13 just to frustrate dahlby.

Gray Fox:

Oxy vs Chapman in men's basketball...December of 2011. It has been booked for awhile. I thought you knew that. The game will be played at Oxy.

I think Gray Fox was making a joke.

Chapman is in? I don't see them in CMS basketball schedule.
So how did it happen? What changed? I thought there was no way Chapman was getting into the SCIAC.

Gregory Sager · May 28, 2011, 10:58:04 PM

This is what happened:

cool picture of hell freezing over.
But I don't understand the money picture. How would Chapman money persuade the SCIAC or the individual schools?
I think Chapman is a better fit for the league than Caltech; I just hope they don't dominate too much.

With students getting to campus this past week or two, I figure why not start up the SCIAC basketball discussion again.

Any thoughts, rumors, news heard from schools on incoming frosh/transfers?

As has been the case in the recent past, I have to go with my Stags as the early favorite. They return All-American Chris Blees, as well as 4 starters (Pinson, Gaffaney, Anderson, and Sullivan) and a key reserve (Mivshek). The key remains how they will fill the void of All SCIAC Big Patrick Lacey in the middle. He was the heart and soul of the squad last year after Blees went down and provided them with championship experience and poise.

I'm clueless with all the other teams, but I think if the Stags play to their potential, they will be tough to beat.

Let the 2011-2012 forum begin

Stag 44--Good to see you back. I am ready for basketball to start--hope it is a good season.

stag44 · October 11, 2011, 10:43:37 AM

Less than 1 week away from start of season!!!

Everyone has been awful quiet this pre-season. I think it could be a very exciting year again across the board.

I'll be in Claremont Oct 22 weekend, so if anyone is around I'll try and sneak into a practice and let you know how the squad looks.
