During its teleconference on July 12, the ILC recommended that the Management Council restructure the playing and practice season for all sports with football being the lone exception. The ILC is calling for the elimination of "weeks" as a measure for defining the seasons; increasing the nontraditional segment from 16 to 24 days; and measuring the winter sports season, as well as golf, rowing and tennis, by 114 days. >> Backstory: "In developing this proposal, the committee received input from coaches associations, the Division III Commissioners Association, NADIIIA and other affiliate groups." >> Rationale: "This proposal offers an alternative to the existing framework that would provide more flexibility to interact with student-athletes outside the traditional season while still upholding philosophical tenets of Division III regarding the appropriate balance of academics, athletics and additional collegiate opportunities." >> Continue Reading A MESSAGE FROM BLUEFRAME TECHNOLOGY   Did you know BlueFrame Technology has advanced integrations with top automated cameras like the Hudl Focus?

Experimental Video Review for WLX The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved an experimental rule on video review for women's lacrosse that will go into effect for the 2022-23 academic year. Conferences can apply for a waiver to use the experimental rule in league games only. Under the new rule, both teams will have two video review requests per game. If the original on-field call is overturned, the team will retain its request. After a team exhausts its challenges without the original call being overturned, the team will not be allowed to request another video review. Officials can also initiate video reviews in certain circumstances. >> Continue Reading A MESSAGE FROM PLUM DELUXE Plum Deluxe is well known for its tea of the month club, the leading tea subscription and one of the most well-liked “surprise and delight” subscriptions.  You get a surprise 1-2 oz of tea every month, plus a story/inspirational message and sample from the shop.  Number one is our community. It is truly where we shine.  People come for the interesting flavors and the free shipping and stay because they make real friends.
