Committee members agreed these priorities remain relevant and noted several others (e.g., squad/travel party/bench size increases, officiating fees, selection criteria) – as well as the need to consider equity implications Division III Championships Committee June 22, 2021 Page No. 3 _________ with any budget decision – merit prioritization.

  • July 24, 2020 This Morning, the Ohio Athletic Conference Presidents
    July 24, 2020 This morning, the Ohio Athletic Conference Presidents Council voted unanimously to postpone all NCAA intercollegiate athletic competition through December 31, 2020, amid the continued and growing concern of COVID-19. The fall sports that have intercollegiate competition postponed include cross country, football, golf, soccer, tennis, and volleyball. The winter-season sports of basketball, indoor track and field, swimming and diving, and wrestling also will have intercollegiate competition postponed during the 2020 calendar year. The OAC is committed to moving NCAA intercollegiate competition to the spring, with various models currently being discussed. (Read the OAC’s statement here.) OAC Commissioner Tim Gleason provided these thoughts: “The OAC believes we can continue to provide an excellent experience for our student-athletes, while continuing to make the health and safety of our student-athletes, coaches, staffs, families, fans, and campus communities our highest priority.” Heidelberg coaches communicated the news to their respective teams shortly after the OAC’s decision this morning. Now, they turn their attention to helping our student-athletes successfully navigate these new limitations and the associated new opportunities this fall. I want to express my tremendous respect and appreciation for Athletic Director Matt Palm and all of our head coaches and their assistant coaches in supporting all of our student-athletes through this challenging pandemic. While competition will not occur in Fall 2020, the OAC is working with Heidelberg and all of its member institutions to plan a robust engagement of student-athletes during the fall semester with conditioning and preparation for spring competition according to CDC guidelines and NCAA criteria in conjunction with local health guidelines.
