News came out of the Division I Women’s Soccer Committee meeting involving the possibility of realignment. Some of the areas that would receive attention would be the number of regions that would compete. Currently there are six separate regions. With the realignment proposal, this would increase to eight regions. This would allow for all teams in one conference to belong to one region. One of the big questions about this proposal was whether it would cause the NCAA to reevaluate how it awards championship points to the teams. The answer is that it wouldn’t affect the scoring scheme.
One of the positives of the realignment proposal is that with the addition of two more regions, it will help raise the number of awards given to student-athletes for their performances on and off the field from the coaches association.
I believe that this may be a good thing for the Division I Women’s Soccer teams because it will allow for more schools to be recognized. The realignment may also allow for the NCAA to better officiate games because the teams will be regionalized and play under the same policies.
