One of the biggest factors in selecting a college is money. Heck, it’s probably the biggest factor but who likes to admit that. I am nearly done with getting my second and last child through college, and, in both cases, they ended up going to the college that gave them the best deal from the…… Continue reading Merit Aid in the West Region
More NCAA News (Updated)
I talked a bit about the proposed realignment from 8 regions to 10, but now I’ll talk about more that came out of the Championships Committee’s report from last month. You can find the report that touched on the realignment, here. The new regions are being targeted for the fall of 2021 so no impact…… Continue reading More NCAA News (Updated)

In fairness,…… Continue reading Schedules in March?
Still Looking?
I wanted to write a little something on DIII recruiting in the midst of the Coronavirus. A number of Potential Student Athletes (PSA) would typically use this time to do on campus visits or have potential schools evaluate them at tournaments. With schools closing their doors for the time being and club volleyball suspending action,…… Continue reading Still Looking?
Musing (to maintain my sanity)
In my coronavirus post I really didn’t mention that colleges are all taking drastic action to protect their students and facility. Extended spring breaks. On-line classes. Cancellations of really everything that involve audiences. My son, the theatre major, and I were discussing the fact that Tarrant (Fort Worth) and Dallas counties have restricted gatherings of…… Continue reading Musing (to maintain my sanity)
