#6: After a decade, the Live United Bowl will no longer be played. Live United Bowl Chairman Allen Brown: “Always with a goal of putting on a first-class event, it has become more expensive and challenging to live up to the standards we have set. Expenses have continued to increase and although we have a giving community, sponsorships have declined. The universities struggle with limited athletic budgets which directly impact the number of participating athletes and support groups such as bands, cheer, and dance teams. To make it a true college experience, it is important to have student involvement, but it requires additional funds to help offset these expenses.” (link)

#2: The DII Championships Committee is recommending the Management Council eliminate bylaw 18.4.3.1 which requires sport committees to pair teams strictly within their region, as the group works to enhance its regionalization bracketing model. At last week’s meeting, the committee approved the recommendation for a joint division Women’s Basketball championship in the future, sideline replays for the 2024 Football playoffs, with all preliminary-round hosts to provide at least two cameras and sideline instant replay for the 2025 championship, among other changes. On selection criteria, “all six sport committees that initially proposed to use KPI for the 2024-27 selection criteria cycle have confirmed their intent to use the metric effective for the 2024-25 academic year through the 2026-27 academic year.” The group will also test potential bracketing principles using DI and DIII philosophies, including DIII’s new NCAA Power Index (NPI). Regarding streaming, this year’s Football, Women’s Volleyball and Men’s and Women’s Basketball championships on Hudl added around 35K users to the database. More. (link)
