Lots of changes on the way for Division II if this flies. They are also talking of pushing back a week the football title game...
* Field hockey – Reduce the maximum number of contests from 20 to 18 and retain the current championship dates.
* Men’s and women’s soccer – Reduce the maximum number of contests from 20 to 18 and retain the current championship dates.
* Women’s volleyball – Reduce the maximum number of dates of competition from 28 to 26 and retain the current championship dates.
* Baseball – Reduce the maximum number of contests from 56 to 50 and retain the current championship dates.
* Softball – Retain the current 56-game maximum but eliminate the tournament exception (meaning that each game played, even if multiple games are played in one day, counts toward the maximum).
* Men’s and women’s golf – Reduce the maximum number of dates of competition from 24 to 21.
All other sports, including basketball, football and lacrosse, are retaining their current maximums for now.
