All that talk about changing football rules to shorten games that could effect DIII? Yeah, check that. The Playing Rules Oversight Panel (PROP) is expected to recommend in April that divisional governance bodies pursue the appropriate legislative actions to eliminate the requirement that playing rules shall be common for all divisions. >> Background: The new NCAA Constitution includes a provision that allows each division to establish the rules for sports competitions and participation, with flexibility at the division, subdivision or federated level. >> What's Next: The DIII Management Council is supporting the creation of an advisory group that will consist of one DIII member from each of the following groups: Championships Committee, Management Council, PROP, Strategic Planning and Finance Committee, as well as an athletics director and a conference commissioner. >> Yes, But: The Championships Committee has noted that playing rules should be similar but that review of any potential playing rule should include more Division III perspectives when considering the infrastructure and costs needed to implement a rule change. >> Quotable: "Based on discussion in the DIIICA room on this topic, I would say that we agree that Division III don't necessarily need all the same rules as the other Divisions," said Jennifer Dubow, chair of the Division III Commissioners Association and executive director of the SCIAC. "We are supportive of this subgroup and are interested in their work on behalf of Division III in this area." >> Be Smart: Perhaps, Division III football and basketball do not have to resemble the FBS, NFL, NBA or WNBA after all. >> Read More A MESSAGE FROM PLUM DELUXE TEA     Plum Deluxe Tea 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.
