#=Division 1A
&=Division 1AA

The Rest are non-scholarship football or non football.

(I suspect the "Black Conferences" in the CAS will be forced to drop down to Division II)

I know that aside from the "Black Colleges," I've left entire conferences out, though some because they are now in the NAN. I apologise, but I was a little rushed.

Questions? Comments? Flames? (I think that by now the entire Pennsylvania Athletic Conference will have pulled itself up to at least Division IAA, but I'm not certain.)

Uh... The Historically-Black colleges and universities in the South already are mostly Division II.

And, still... the SEC isn't big enough at 12 schools that you want to add 2 more?

I assume the A-12 is an expanded A-10 conference. You're missing a school: The George Washington University.

The Colonial AC? Do Liberty and Bob Jones even have teams? I know they aren't anywhere near being Division 1-A.

Notre Dame doesn't play football as a part of any conference, and is in the Big East for pretty much everything else.

You forgot the Patriot League, which is 1-A.

• American University
• United States Military Academy (football is independent)
• Bucknell University
• Colgate University
• College of the Holy Cross
• Lafayette College
• Lehigh University
• United States Naval Academy (football is independent)

Also... Dude, seriously? The Evil Eight (aka the Ivy League) will never expand. Guaranteed.

Yeah. I edited that about ND. And trust me, I am well aware of how much their football team sucks. I am, after all, a member of the Trojan Family.

Anyway, I am still weary of a conference with more than 12 teams. It has proven in almost every instance to be unworkable. Look at the WAC - It was a very large conference for a short time before 8 teams (including 4 charter teams) broke off and formed the MWC. Now both are up to nine apiece. The SEC and the Big-XII are as big as a conference should get.

And as for the Ivy League, either they put in MIT&T and Monmouth, or they boot out Cornell, which historically doesn't belong as it was founded after the Civil War to be land grant school.

You also must remember that the CAS secession destroyed many conferences by putting rivals on opposite sides of the border.

One last thing?

What do I do about the now redundant Royal Canadian Millitary College at Kingston, Ontario?

Does it become a civillian school, or is it closed, or does it become a specialty school (like Nuclear Powered, JAG School, Rocket School, ect.)?

Eh. That assumes that the NCAA is as short-sighted as the NFL.

But as for the Ivies - they're a horribly arrogant and exclusionary league. It would take a miracle to expand it.

As for the RCMC - I don't know. Maybe refit it to be the new Air Force Academy.

..."Lakeside" sounds too much like the conference my old high school is in. Maybe Great Lakes Conference would be a more suitable name.

I would have kept Wisconsin Milwaukee in the Horizon League considering they are not of the calibre of a Michigan, Minnesota, or Wisconsin. Also, isn't Minnesota Duluth currenly a div. II team?

IMO, an old long standing conference such as the Big Ten would remain pretty much intact as it is today (yeah, I could see Penn State moving which would bring it back to 10 schools). Too many long running rivalries to split it up (one of the most storied of course being being Michigan & Ohio State).

Marquette (which BTW does not have a football squad) would fit better in one of the Central UCAS conferences since the school is located some 900 miles from the Atlantic. I would have either left them in the Big East where they currently are or moved them to the Mid American, or back into Conference CAS (old Conference USA).

Oh, and there are at least two Great Lakes conferences in Division II

Updated!

Bump!

Whoa! Why are the Santa Barbarians suddenly the Banana Slugs? That's UCSC - Santa Cruz. Santa Barbara is like 400 kilometers away.

And I think they are the Gauchos.

-Frank

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the Notre Dame hate is going to continue into the 2070's, especially after it's revealed that Charlie Weis is an immortal elf.

So, Kyoto Kid, do you have a solution to the question of which UCAS flagship universities west of the Appalachains go where yet?

...I had thought this thread fell off the face of the earth a while back so I stopped my research.

Basically the way I look at it, College athletics in the 6th world will not be the way we know it today. For one, the old US has been broken into several independent nations. The only places I see the "traditional" college sport programmes continuing in their current format are the UCAS and CAS which are still pretty much Anglo American. Schools in the NANs would most likely undergo a change in focus and philosophy, as would those in the TT and Aztlan.

Some conferences (Like the Big 10, Big East and SEC would survive pretty much intact since they are still for the most part wholly within the UCAS or CAS borders. Others like the ACC and Big 12 Would have alignment shifts while a few like the old Conference USA(UCAS) and Pac 10 would most likely disappear all together.

Each nation would also have its own oversight committees for Academics and Athletics (there would be no NAAA).

Next, many schools, particularly those outside the UCAS/CAS would have different names, mascots, or possibly not even exist (the southern California schools for example due to the riots of LA, the takeover by the PC and finally, the big quake). With the breakup of the old USA, state names would have little meaning any more. Take for example the UW in Seattle which is now Metroplex University or the University of Oregon which became the University of Tir Taringire (I'm sure that the duck is no longer the school's mascot either)

Finally, in these other nations, there would be changes to the athletic programmes themselves. I don't see many of the NAN universities continuing to fund and administrate what are basically considered "White Man's Sports" (Football, Basketball, Baseball). For team competition, the most logical choice would be Lacrosse and/or Field Hockey (the latter already mentioned as being pretty much the TT's favourite pastime in the Tir Sourcebook). Other activities that provide a more personal challenge such as some track & field events, endurance competitions, swimming and wrestling would be more popular. Even some of the so called "extreme sports" like Iron Man, Whitewater Kayaking, Rock Climbing, and Scrambling could find their way into the NAN athletic departments.

Basically the NCAA (UCAA?) as we know it would be a much smaller organisation (As would the CSAA).

And I haven't even touched on the whole College Bowl scene, "March Madness, and CWS. There would most definitely be some major changes here as well. But that's for another discussion

Actually, There's a strip of Colorado from Boulder to Colorado Springs that appears to still be UCAS Territory (Except for the partitioned Treaty City of Denver proper.)

The Dakota flagships are all in the southeast corners of their respective states.

...I'll have to check my SR 2070 map when I get home. I thought the PC took a lot of that over after crash 2.0 when they also annexed the Ute Nation.
