The Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference voted yesterday to split into two divisions following the addition of Colorado College and Birmingham-Southern.

In basketball, Birmingham-Southern, Centre, DePauw, Oglethorpe, Rhodes and Sewanee are in the East. Austin, Colorado College, Hendrix, Millsaps, Southwestern and Trinity (Texas) are in the West.

That’s for basketball and baseball. If you’re following volleyball and softball, Millsaps is in the East and Rhodes is in the West. (No idea why, sorry.)

For football, the nine football teams will play a full round-robin, with each team meeting the other eight. Believe it or not, this was not a given — there was some discussion about splitting into divisions or playing a partial round-robin like the NCAC does. But can you imagine a year in which DePauw and Trinity tied for first and did not play each other?

Wait, never mind, already happened last year. 🙂

This alignment takes effect in 2007-08.
