Future of Division III

I'm jumping into the fray pretty late here, but I'm curious if anyone has any idea how the movement of Hood and Villa Julie and Hood to the CAC is going to impact the AWCC, and if there is yet a firm "new" league that Goucher and Catholic will be joining in 2007, as the CAC website claims?

The "new" conference doesn't have an official name as yet, however we are referring to it as the "Interstate 8."

Members will be: Juniata, Moravian, Susquehanna, Catholic, Goucher, Kings Point, Stevens and Drew.

They start play in 2007-2008 in all sports, but football.

I still say it should be called the Insidious Eight.

What about the AAPNC?

The "Adjectives and Proper Nouns Conference."

Jake1kpr, Pat Coleman has done a good job of following this conference. With a more pro-active leadership, the prospects for the AWCC might be better.

I thought Juniata was DII?

BTW, Ralph...thanks...I've gotten a good bit of info from that post/stream.

Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan) · March 07, 2006, 08:48:39 AM

I'm pretty sure Juniata is D3.

ADL70 · March 07, 2006, 05:55:13 PM

I'm sure they are DIII. But their MVB team is #1 ranked DIII and just about beat 11th ranked (DI) Ohio St.

I'm trying to figure out who you would be confusing them with.

they are d3.... their women's volleyball team has a huge rivalry with Wash U.'s volleyball team.

I've been racking my brain and I can't think of a d2 school you might confuse them with.

Nor can I, unless there's a D2 Juanita ....

I believe Juniata has been D3 ever since there has been a D3.

The only d2 school that even starts with a J is Johnson C Smith University. There are a couple of state schools in J-towns, but nothing to be confused with Juniata.

With all the comings and goings in the Atlantic/Mid-Atlantic region, we're gonna need a who's who just to keep up with it all.
