MBB: Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Don't fall into the trap of using Hotwire or Expedia or such for rental cars. Each time I have done some investigating the prices are identical to the website of the company.

Very true, but expedia (at least, not sure about hotwire) only takes reservations and doesn't even require a credit card number, so you're not actually paying anything until you show up anyway, so no harm done.

Yeah, but the same is true of rental car companies... or at least it's true at Enterprise.

Exactly my point April.  Expedia gives you the opportunity to shop for the best deal and reserve it without a mark-up and you only have to go one place.  I'm not a huge fan of those discount websites for plane tickets, but it sure makes renting a car easy.

I've never had a problem with priceline.  In fact, I even bought my INTERNATIONAL flight to Uruguay on Priceline and save about $400.  I've never rented a car, however.

Is THIS what you meant?  The link to the new NathCon page?

old School, thanks for the link.

As one looks at the sports that the NAthCon sponsors, there is good consolidation.  I have lost the link to the NCAA's discussions on extending Pool A bids to Golf and Tennis and maybe even Cross Country.  The consolidation may make this possible, should Pool Bids be awarded in those 3 sports.

(Golf does have to work out the question of seasons...Fall vs. Spring)

Indoor and outdoor track and field will have 8 teams.  That is a good conference of peers.

Edgewood's new women's coach was announced, Lakeland's assistant.

[diehardfan]

lakeland's men's basketball assistant? if so, ouch for that program!

[fishguy]

no, edgewood hired one of lakeland's women's assistants as their new women's head coach.

[diehardfan]

then doesn't that belong on the women's board

We're not sexist here, April. 

[diehardfan]

We're not sexist here, April.

Or organized, apparently.   

It actually bothers me a little when people stick stuff on the mens boards all the time, because they think people will read it there. The women deserve their own substantial discussions on their own boards, etc, etc. It also makes things clearer, which is never bad.

fishguy asked if Edgewood had announced a new coach since he is now the new commish for the NathCon.  I was basically saying I hadn't heard anything aside from the fact they did hire the women's coach, not the men's.  I'm not going to go into the women's board to answer a question that was posted in the men's board.  I didn't mean any harm by it.  I do read the women's board on ocassion.
