The unfamiliarity of having a woman on the committee eventually led to a search of if there had been another in the past. There had not." >> Court Awareness: "Quatrocky previously served on NCAA committees for tennis, lacrosse and women’s golf before applying to become the then-South/Southeast representative — Division III has since moved to the 10-region model — of the men’s basketball committee when she was the senior woman administrator for athletics at Rhodes College." >> What They're Saying: “It was very clear to the rest of the committee that she was the next person to grasp that role and step up into that leadership position,” NCAA Coordinator of Championships and Alliances Alex Mortillaro said. “Over the last five years, she has shown she knows what the ultimate goal is and does a great job of uniting the group to work toward that goal, but she also keeps the bigger picture in mind at the same time." >> Quotable: “Basketball has always been a huge part of my life,” Quatrocky said. “I was a tomboy growing up with my dad, and we went to Kansas Jayhawks games all the time. College basketball was everything to me, and now to think that I’ve helped grow Division III basketball to the point where we had a media room last year full of media and national media stories. We were on ESPN and we have our national championship game televised on CBS Sports. Those things are priceless." >> Continue Reading ICE HOCKEY 3.  Down The Stretch They Come It's Conference Championship Weekend in Division III ice hockey with top teams in the latest USCHO.com rankings still in the hunt for hardware.

Although esports has been litigated in other contexts, this is the first time a federal judge has issued a written ruling on esports as it pertains to whether a college has complied with Title IX.   The University of La Verne will pay $8.9 million to resolve claims that its students didn’t get their tuition’s worth in spring 2020 due to campus closures caused by the coronavirus pandemic.   Happy Birthday Cake and candles for Bailey Adams, Muskingum soccer alum; Ryan Widenhain, associate AD, Marymount; Noah Aftanas, athletic communications, Saint Vincent; and a special wish for Bridget Belgiovine, former Wellesley AD and NCAA DIII director.

FB Coaches Sound Off On Rule Changes

We have solutions. >> Thanks for reading D3Playbook. Help us keep this site free. Support D3Playbook and our advertisers by clicking their links.    Yes. I want to subscribe to D3Playbook TOP STORY 1. FB Coaches Sound Off On Rule Changes      by Cory Hogue, Dave Campbell's Texas Football "A report surfaced from Sports Illustrated’s Ross Dellenger earlier this week that the NCAA is looking to implement four rule changes intended to speed up the time of the game. Two of the four proposed rule changes caught the eye, and ire, of Division III coaches. One likely change is continuing to run the clock after first downs except for inside of two minutes during either half. The other change is running the clock following an incomplete pass once the referee spots the ball for the next down. The new rules intend to speed up televised games that average three and a half to four hours. But Division III doesn’t have media timeouts like Division II or televised games until the semifinals, and their games average a brisk two and a half to three hours." >> Why It Matters: “Why does everything have to be the same way at all levels? I understand the reasoning behind the rule in Division I, but that shouldn’t affect everyone,” one coach said. “It’s not broken in Division III, so why fix it? We shouldn’t make wholesale changes across every level when only one division has TV games.” >> Reality Check: Halftime lasts 12 minutes in the NFL, while most college halftimes are 20 minutes long. Why can’t the collegiate game shorten the halftime? “Shortening the halftime was discussed, but they didn’t want to do that because of the long walks some people have to and from the locker room,” one coach said. >> They Said It: “I think it highlights the continued way that the big schools ramrod their experiences into the rule book, and that has a negative trickle-down effect for the majority of college football,” one coach said. “This is a Power 5 issue, and there will be a negative experience for everyone below that level simply because they’re trying to appease the big media companies.” >> Read More A MESSAGE FROM GOLDBELLY     WE SHIP AMERICA'S MOST LOVED FOODS NATIONWIDE Experience America's most iconic regional foods with $15 OFF your first order of $50 on Goldbelly!
