Re: WIAC schools to pull out earlier than originally planned!
Originally posted by gojackets View PostPulling this over from the D3 men's thread:
The way it stands now the WIAC will be
UW-Superior
UW-Stevens Point
UW-River Falls
UW-Eau Claire
The NCHA will still have 7 members and still have an autobid.
Finlandia
Marian
St Norbert
St Scholastica
Lake Forest
Concordia
Adrian
Clearly this is good news for the remaining NCHA members as the UW schools have always won the autobid except for Adrian two seasons ago. This is extremely bad news for the WIAC schools, the only way this is good is if we are guaranteed a 5-3 split every year and they get one...highly unlikely. This will have to hurt recruiting for the WIAC schools as players will be more likely to want to play for a team that has a decent chance to make the post-season. IMOUWS Ladyjackets

Re: WIAC schools to pull out earlier than originally planned!
Originally posted by DedicatedFan View PostLike me, most D3 folks probably don't know what to make of it. I was hoping some of the other Wisconsin private schools would join the WIAC, but after this announcement, I'm not sure that will happen. I don't fully understand the playoff structure, but it appears that under the new structure, a UW school is going to have to do extremely well to make the playoffs. On the flip side, I suppose it opens up the schedule and allows the UW schools to schedule games with a wider variety of teams. I heard that Stout has a women's club team -- maybe they will make it a varsity sport.The Poster Formerly Known as Purple_and_Gold10©

Originally posted by PrezdeJohnson09 View PostThe WIAC schools are going to be in a world of trouble to try and make the NCAA's without an automatic bid unless they have a ridiculous season with only a couple of losses.
The othe question is that now that the remaining NCHA teams are all going to be members of the men's MCHA....Adrian, Lake Forest, Finlandia, Marian, CUW and now St. Norbert and CSS...will the MCHA start up a women's league and the NCHA disappear?UWS Ladyjackets

Originally posted by gojackets View PostHell we can't get in with a couple of losses now. I would say they would have to go undefeated or maybe have 1 loss to have any shot...including wins over eastern powers. Stout moving up wouldn't help any. Instead of 4 we would have 5....WIAC would need 7 for it to do anything. I don't forsee that happening ever...unless Stout moved up, the Northland Rumors ever come true and they join the WIAC and they get CUW or Marian to come over.

Originally posted by 24checking View PostThat' what I was eluding to in my my post on 6-19-12. Why wouldn't the MCHA start up a women's league to parallel the men's? The women's WIAC would also be looking in from the outside, and I can't believe that the MIAC would accept any of the women's WIAC schools...UWS Ladyjackets

Originally posted by gojackets View PostConsidering MIAC stands for Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference..I doubt they would let any Wisconsin Schools in They wouldn't even take St Scholastica.
I think on the men's side of things St. Scholastica and St. Norbert were in it together.The Poster Formerly Known as Purple_and_Gold10©
