Does PAC move CMU to the North?

WashJeff68 · March 02, 2021, 01:36:38 PM

Why do you think they might do that?

Pat Coleman · March 02, 2021, 02:17:04 PM

Without having looked at the divisional balance myself, I would assume that losing Case and Thiel might make the divisions uneven in number.

I'm not betting on CMU playing football in this spring season.
IVY League shut theirs down. CMU can't be far behind...

Understand now, Forgot about Thiel. If CMU bolts, that leaves 7 teams (6 potential games). Guess they could scrap the current north/south/crossover format and just play 6 games, or just 5 if the calendar is an issue.

You keep eligibility when only playing 5 games. Right, Pat?

Actually, D-III decided that nobody was going was going to have to use a year of eligibility for this at all, so that restriction is no longer a factor!

HAC is scheduled to play a seven-game full Conf schedule.

CMU's schedule now has Grove City, Westminster, and Geneva, who were North Division teams, and Waynesburg. Those games are not listed on the PAC site, nor are the CWRU cancellations. Thiel games are now shown as "Cancelled."

I'm expecting some sort of Spring Football conference-wide announcement in the next day or so...

Quicker than I thought....

CWRU released Spring schedules for baseball, softball, and tennis today; the opponents are all Ohio teams, with no organized conference play scheduled.

No word on football, but I'm guessing that, based on the fact that no similar announcement has been made regarding football, the odds are against it.

I hope I'm wrong!

The sports that you mentioned knew on January 12, that there would be no UAA competition. They had two months to schedule outside competition. Football only found out that they wouldn't be competing with PAC. on March 1. I too hope that they can schedules a few games with the NCAC teams who are playing this spring.

WOW!!! Case just announced a football game against Ohio Wesleyan on April 8th!!!

They even updated the "2020" schedule to list one game:

Hopefully they can schedule at least one game with Wooster, Wittenberg, or Denison on March 26 or 27. It looks like April 8, 9,10 are the last games the NCAC is scheduling.
