Re: NCAA D3 Expansion?
Then why hasn't any leagues gone in and met with them officially to try and get them to the NCAA Div. III levels for hockey when the sport of hockey is basically funded through fundraising and through athletics anyways. The problem isn't the ncaa it's the people inovled with hockey politics. These schools don't want to cultivate hockey they don't want to create new partnerships and open there little world up to anybody because it is more competition. Get real man!
There are several ACHA schools that are varsity hockey programs around the country and possibly could help if NCAA adopted new legislation to allow these programs to be NCAA in one sport. What sucks is that programs that are varsity programs and Lebanon Valley and Scranton which appear to be totally mismanaged leave the NCAA for the ACHA. Schools need to get to the real root cause of these issues because Scrantons Coach has been there forever and has done nothingd for their program.
Scranton - NCAA Div. III Independent follows all NCAA Div. III rules and regulations plays in ACHA.
Alvernia College - NCAA Div. III school maybe an independent under the radar plays basically by all NCAA standards as well. Will play 22 regular season games because they have non-hockey guys running the program they count the playoff games as there 25.
Hope College - plays 25 games not including playoffs
Calvin College - Plays 25 games not including playoffs
These programs are supported by the Athletic program and run by the athletic program so technically they should be all classified as NCAA Div. III Independents.
