Single Core Conferences

Any prospect of the ASC or a similar conference from "MAC-i-fying" into an umbrella conference and sub-conferences just saw some hopes dim.

At one time, the MAC had 50  or so members. Try "MAC-i-fying" that many today.

NCAA says that other than New Orleans and Centenary, no schools are joining the Division III membership pipeline this upcoming year.

NCAA DII seems to be getting a majority of the action these days.

They need to call themselves something besides the "Nittany Lions" - LOL!

They competed in the NEAC last year.

You should look at the Penn State University Athletic Conference in the USCAA. They are all the Nittany Lions. That has to be boring going through the conference schedule and see the same colors every night.

... and DePauw's also the only D3 school named to the Princeton Review's annual lampshade-as-a-hat, upchucking-on-the-campus-sidewalks Top Ten.

Nice.

The ranking is based on voluntary e-mail surveys of 122,000 students at more than 370 colleges across the country.

Rigorous.

I know some of those "party school" lists used to take money from the various institutions to leave them off the list.  I wonder if they're looking to tap the vast resources of d3 now by adding those schools into the mix.
