Coming out of its summer meetings, the D2 CCA published its positions on a number of key issues.

On championships, the D2 CCA backs an AQ for all sports of no more than 50% AQ’s, expanding the FB postseason to 32 teams to mirror the DI FCS playoff, a 4.25-6.00 access ratio, setting the minimum number of programs for a DII championship at 35 and more.

Allen has secured a piece of property a few miles from campus upon which it intends to build a “full-scale athletic complex — football, track and field, soccer. The entire nine yards,” per President McNealy, who expects that “by next fall, we will have all of our sports a new home for competition.” AD Cox credits McNealy’s vision for the growth of the department: “He wants to win and he wants to do a lot of winning. And so what comes along with that is an enormous amount of passion that he has for the department of intercollegiate athletics. This transition going from NAIA to NCAA is not a mistake either. He knew by adopting such that it would improve a lot of areas on campus and a lot of pillars as well. [...] Athletics drives a lot and we can be a driving force collectively now that this athletic facility is about to come to fruition.” (link)
