[edit] Logos
There is a discussion to clarify our policy/guideline on the use of sports team logos. Please see Wikipedia_talk:Logos#Clarification_on_use_of_sports_team_logos if you wish to participate in the discussion. Johntex\talk 16:44, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Part of me wants to call this I-AAA independents, but I guess that wouldn't be proper since NDSU and SDSU do sponsor football and not sponsoring football is what makes a team I-AAA. However, it is somewhat inappropriate for this to only be referred to as a basketball structure since most of the teams that are independent here are independent in other sports. --Cliedl 07:37, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Schools transitioning
I removed three schools from this page which should NOT be added back again:
-North Dakota: has announced their intentions to move to Division I, but have not begun the process yet.
-South Dakota: have announced that they will investigate the feasibility of moving to D-I, but have not officially announced that they will make the move.
-Cal State Bakersfield: are moving to D-I, but are not playing a full Division I schedule, therefore not including them as a Division I member at this time.
Once these schools move along with their reclassification, they should reappear here. --fuzzy510 07:51, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] deletion of the page
there is no longer a need for this page since the independent schools that helped form the basketball league have gone to conferences, also there is already a NCAA Independents page. Dgreco
Stop deleting Houston Baptist!, they are DI independent starting in 2007. They left the NAIA in 2006-2007 for DI.
- Until I, or anyone else, can find something that says they'll be competing as a D-I independent in 2007-2008 (NOT something that just says that they're moving), they're not going on the list. Transition in the NCAA is a very sticky subject, and it's not as clear-cut as it may seem. --fuzzy510 02:16, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Uh...beg pardon? Why in the world is NCAA Independents redirecting here, where there's only info about basketball teams, when there are still at least a few indies in football? For instance, last I checked, Notre Dame was still indy... --Duneflower, resident weirdo 12:07, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
- Good question. If someone doesn't beat me to the punch, I'll convert that into a disambiguation page as soon as I get a chance. NCAA Independents should link to all independents, regardless of sport (like you mentioned, Duneflower) or division (I know there's a I-FCS independents page, and I think there's a D-II or D-III page as well). --fuzzy510 15:52, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
- Done! Thanks for pointing that out, it definitely wasn't proper for it to be as it was. --fuzzy510 20:01, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Competition in NCAA Championship
I don't know the answer to the question of how these schools compete in the championship or if they are allowed to. Obviously schools still in transition like CSUB won't be able to, but if they are full Div-I members but not in a conference, is it possible for them to be included in the seedings for the NCAA championship, and if so how would that work?
