FB: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[olddog]

I have concerns with the consolidation of Power Conferences in D1, it will lead to eventually they break away from the NCAA for football. D2 and D3 lose that financial support.

The NCAA doesn't actually get any money from D-I FBS football. There are no NCAA rights fees for that, because they are all owned by the College Football Playoff.

However, if they break away for basketball, yes, we are probably screwed.

If FB gets dropped some women sports would follow.

Thanks Pat, I did not know that

[D O.C.]

You guys made July.

2019 Chainman getting to the second round after a 1 point, 6 overtime home win. Something like that?

Taking a Quick Look at SCIAC next year....
Hard to justify moving any teams up or down from last years finish

1) CMS, school is very committed to sports, mini Stanford model etc...just need more team speed
2) PP, left with no choice but to upgrade facilities due to CMS, with Pomona College being attainable for many kids, they should get better, need better linemen, big push this year
3 and 4) Chapman or UR, interchangeable ...solid programs, some good athletes, solid coaches, ...what D3 is all about ...UR working hard to get better up front
5) Cal Lu, Regals should be a little better this year
6) La Verne, If the Lady president does more tackling drills with team, they are doomed.

Why is the gender of the president relevant? Presidents of whatever gender have proven fully capable of not supporting their football programs.

One year she put on pads and went out there running around, I am not the word smith like you. However it was just dumb and a mockery. I do not understand why an adult would make it a mockery about her, but she did. She only did it because she is a she....look at me....in my opinion. UR's president is a lady but does not go out there and put gear on, she just supports the team. She does not do the look at me, I am cute stuff.

I think CLU will be terrible this year.  No offensive or defensive line.  New QB, RB, WR. Not looking good.

The SCIAC coaches predictions should be out next week.

I don't know if I have ever seen one conference have the two best punters in the nation, I think both have a chance to get a pro tryout. I will pay more attention to it this year....Steps, timing, hang time etc...

Very much looking forward to the P-P game in Northfield this fall. Very curious how Carleton stacks up against a west coast school that was just in the playoffs. I might travel back for it.

[StagLove]

Yes.   Stags play University of Chicago their first game.  Excited to go to Chicago Labor Day Weekend.

Still not out.  I blame Hilary.  But I could be all wet.  

[MonroviaCat]

Probably waiting for the votes from the Whittier coach.......

[Gray Fox]

When the SCIAC votes, Pat will have it here.  As of today, eleven conferences have not made a pick yet.  Some may not.
