Regional Realignment

You have SUNY New Paltz listed in Region IV with the rest of the SUNY schools listed in Region III.

Thanks.  We'll get it fixed.

I know they don't want to split up conferences... but keeping all the C2C together seems weird. Is it really a "region" anymore when it stretches across most of the country? The southeast Region 6 contains Brooklyn, the the U P of Michigan, and California. Pratt to UC-Santa Cruz is 2966 miles in the same region while Pratt to St. Joseph's (Bklyn.) is a couple blocks away but different regions.

You just have to accept the C2C for what it is... Pool B with Conference rights. It's ridiculous but at the same time it isn't harming anything.

The C2C is just a name change for the CAC, which was already assigned to that region before they teleported into  Goldblumesque accident.

It's not the C2C I have a problem with... I just don't know why all the teams should be grouped in the same region. Region 6 is essentially the southeast... I wouldn't consider NY, California, or Michigan to be anywhere near that region. If teams were relatively close to the geographic footprint of the rest of the region I can understand lumping them in  But there are much better options for those teams to be listed.  UC-Santa Cruz should be region 10, Finlandia region 9, Pratt region 4. And what happens when the C2C ceases somewhere down the line... they'll just get moved back in their proper region again.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but I'm explaining that the CAC was already assigned to a region before all this mess.  They're not going to unilaterally break up a conference into different regions, especially when they don't know what other conferences these teams might be in two years down the line.

Then there's the State University of New York with 20 campuses playing at the D3 level, but 4 in Region 1, 14 in Region 3, Morrisville in Region 4 [except for hockey], and Alfred State in Region 7.  SUNYAC doesn't want to expand beyond 10, and everyone wants to be in an autobid conference.
