Soka University, which is entering the NAIA this year alongside Life and our favorite d3hoops.com geographical punchline UMPI, is to the best of my knowledge the only Buddhist-oriented institution of higher learning in the United States.

What about the Transcendental Meditation college in Iowa?  I know its not exactly Buddhist anymore, but it's based in Buddhism, right?

Take home quote that goes to the very core of the NCAA.
QuoteJim Carr, the NAIA's president, wants the NCAA to make it easier for programs from the two associations to play more often so colleges can save on travel costs. While it's still unclear whether the NCAA will change its championship guidelines, Mr. Carr is encouraged by what he has heard lately.

"It seems silly that schools are right across the street from each other and can't play because of ratings criteria," he said in an interview last week. "We're excited to be having a dialogue with the NCAA to help make that change."

'Town Hall' format seeks responses to growth

Town hall: Tensions arise from balancing objectives, ideals

So it looks like they are going to keep trying to go with sub- divisions.

I don't read this that way at all.

QuoteThe committee -- responding to a Division III Management Council referral of issues raised in the recent survey that also ended consideration of creation of a new division or subdivision as a solution for growth -- likely will revisit recently implemented compliance standards for active members and also explore whether the division would benefit from a dues increase.

Yes, the way it reads I would agree with you. Just a old timer, like me, know the best way to keep a subject going is to keep it in the front to keep the topic active.

But that my insight.

This one slipped right past me!

I am a little confused , because I thought that conference games were in-region now!  :-\

D-III Championships Committee recommendation for Jan 2009.

ADL70

Could it be that that is the case in some sports but not all?  The focus of the committee's recomendation seemed to be that the "in-region requirement should be applied to all sports."

I don't know the answer to my question, just suggesting a scenario that expalins the recommendation.

I think it's on a conference-by-conference basis so far -- this could be them formalizing a policy for all Division III conferences.

I don't know how I feel about the 25% in region requirement for team/individual sports like cross country and track. It is in the middle of the article that Ralph Turner posted.

On one hand 25% doesn't sound terribly difficult to achieve but on the other hand you have none if any control on who comes to meets that aren't your own, that could make it difficult to achieve.

Not surprisingly these bureaucrats being bureaucrats behave like bureaucrats - heaping rules and regulations upon rules and regulations as if such action solves the problems of the world.
