Finally some sensible news for

regarding community testing for COVID-19.
Hope
@NCAA
updates their guidelines soon to clarify no need to test asymptomatic student-athletes.
Waste of tests and resources, and CDC says no longer necessary.
🚨The CDC no longer recommends asymptomatic testing, even post-exposure.🚨

Regionalization and a regionally structured

@NCAADII
well for many years - as it started with fewer than 150 schools.
Now, with 300+ members and 165 football programs, perhaps it is time to update/improve the
@NCAADII
championship model!
.
@TheMIAA
commissioner Mike Racy (
@MIAA_Racy

Regionalization for
@NCAADII
national champ selections served membership well 20 years ago.
The membership has changed and grown, but process and policies have not.
Time for
@NCAADII
selections to change - our student-athletes deserve better!
The NCAA has a big Division II problem.
It's time to rid ourselves of regionalization because the 64 best teams are not getting into the basketball tournament.
@TheMIAA
WBB deserves six teams. NSIC has a case for more.
