Comments on: Is the new SCAC better? http://www.d3blogs.com/d3hoops/2006/04/18/is-the-new-scac-better/ The daily dish on Division III basketball Thu, 09 Feb 2012 04:53:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Ralph Turner http://www.d3blogs.com/d3hoops/2006/04/18/is-the-new-scac-better/comment-page-1/#comment-2393 Ralph Turner Tue, 02 May 2006 00:21:14 +0000 http://www.d3hoops.com/dailydose/?p=176#comment-2393 With the new Geographic Region amendment from the Championships Committee, moving CC to the South Basketball Region would open up the teams in the South, especially the ODAC, the USAC and GSAC. Colorado College now picks up UDallas as a Region #4 opponent. The big winner that I see in this part of the country is UDallas. Since they left the ASC, they have had but one competitive season, 2004. Now they can play all of the SLIAC teams as "in-region". They have been more competitive with the SLIAC than any other conference in recent years.

Men's basketball has not put DePauw in its logical home so I am not sure they will do so with CC either. They might put CC in the South.

It has thus been reduced to a couple of very quiet rooms. :) Ralph, I only speak *ex cathedra* in Posting Up rooms where I have yet to make an error.

I saw no fewer than two references to Phi Beta Kappa on the NebWes website. One was on a roommate survey sheet, and I can't remember where the other one was. That’s strange.

With Southwestern and Trinity also an unbreakable pairing, that means that Colorado College's travel partner would have to be someone not only far away (duh) but actually farther away than their nearer Texas-based confederates. So since there are reasonable travel partnerships between DPU/CC, OU/UotS, and RC/MC, I'd guess that CC would end up paired with Hendrix, as odd as that seems. As for football, well, I confess that I don't even know which of these teams play football and which (if any) don't. :) UDallas is, of course, a natural travel partner with Austin.

Would twist travel partners around. I have also over the years heard rumors of one or two Minnesota schools. Not sure where that would go but unlikely at best. Neb. Wesleyan would surprise me. My guess is the University of Dallas will be announced as the 12th SCAC team. Not so concerned with Colorado College's region status in football. Also, Brown assistant coach Andy Partee was named the new men's basketball coach at Colorado College. Obviously the Univ. of Dallas has to be considered. Would twist travel partners around.

However, the West Region needs opponents due to geographic isolation. As I look at the Colorado College schedules, only McMurry ('03,'04) Huntingdon ('04-'06), Wash StL ('99-'01) and CMU ('05) (among non-SCAC South Region opponents) have played CC. Please contribute your opinions as to whether Colorado College will be moved to the South Evaluation Region, or left in the West.
