They also discussed membership and made a proposal regarding use of reserve funds which was submitted to the Presidents Council for review. The DC took no action on the ECC membership proposal. Tom Shirley made a motion to approve the April 1, 2019 Directors Council minutes. Kathy Laoutaris seconded. Motion passed: 14-0. CACC Council MeetingsSummary of April 5th, 2019 FAR Meeting – Dan Mara (Supplement #2)The FARs meet at Felician two times per year. In April, Dr. Clint Robertson was given an award for his years of service. Sister Jean Faustman (CHC) will be attending the D2 FAR Fellows Institute in Indianapolis, which will mean 12/14 CACC FARs have attended the event. Summary of April 12th, 2019 SAAC Meeting – Ellen O’Brien (Supplement #3)SAAC last met in April at Georgian Court. Nicole Degenhardt, the softball coach and advisor at GCU conducted a very well received leadership session about always putting forth your best effort. Dan Mara spoke with the group about the CACC Spectator Code of Conduct and asked for feedback regarding fan behavior in the conference. The conference office also sought ideas for various types of resources we can add to a new section of the website to go along with one of our strategic plan initiatives. The next meeting is Friday, September 27 and a host site is needed. Kathy Laoutaris volunteered Concordia to host the meeting on September 27th.Summary of April 16th, 2019 Presidents Council Meeting – Mark Corino (Supplement #4)The budget proposal was reviewed as well as the Directors Council recommendation for $2,500 to be distributed to each school for professional development in athletics. The Presidents Council voted to implement a one year, $5,000 abatement of conference dues. Conference dues will remain at $22,000 and this abatement will only apply to the 2019-20 academic year. The $5,000 maintained by each institution is to be used only in an athletics context, with a focus on professional development. The Presidents Council agreed the $5,000 will not be deducted from athletics budgets. Due to the abatement, the conference will begin the year in a deficit.The PC reviewed the membership document which was developed by the Directors Council Membership Committee. The PC will hold off on taking action regarding membership, but will observe any conference movements in the region. The PC approved the audit report.ECC Proposal (Supplement #4A): The PC voted to cosponsor the ECC membership proposal. A committee has been formed consisting of several presidents and ADs to discuss membership. Dr. Marbach (GCU) will be replacing Sister Carol (CHC) as Presidents Council Chair. Sister Carol will move to Past Chair. John Hopkins (Post) is Chair Elect and Dr. Harmon (WU) remains as Treasurer.Summary of May 14th, 2019 Athletic Trainers Meeting – Ellen O’Brien (Supplement #5)The Athletic Trainers met at Dominican in May. The ATs provided some feedback regarding the festival and had a speaker regarding mental health. The conference is moving forward with the MedBridge proposal which will be effective in August of this year. The conference office will pay the fees up front to ensure everyone can get started on August 1st. The conference office will then bill the schools for their MedBridge membership fees.Summary of May 14th, 2019 SID Meeting – Doug DeBiase (Supplement #6)The SIDs met in May and put forward two action items. The first is to go with Presto Stats for three years to lock in pricing during that time. Under this plan for schools that order four or more programs for the 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22 years, the price will be $800. For schools that order three programs, the pricing will be $600. For schools that order two or less, the cost will be $225 per program. Genius stats are more instensive and require two staff members. Genius will be moving forward with soccer this year in addition to basketball and volleyball. They will begin charging $150 per program in 21-22. Tom Shirley made a motion to approve the SID’s proposal and to sign a three-year deal with Presto. Laura Liesman seconded. Motion passed: 14-0.The SIDs discussed forming a subcommittee to review all-tournament teams and structure. The subcommittee would include Rob Cunningham (JEFF), Derek Crudele (GBC), John Tagliaferri (CU), and Eli Sirota (CND). Tom Shirley made a motion to approve the creation of the all-tournament team subcommittee. Sheila Wooten seconded. Motion passed: 14-0.Doug DeBiase is speaking with BlueFrame regarding archive prices for webcasts. As of June 30, all webcasts will be pulled from the CACC Network to free up space on the server. Mark Corino suggested schools download the games they want to keep before June 30th. BlueFrame will notify the conference before removing the games. Summary of May 29th, 2019 SWA Meeting – Erin HarveyThe SWAs met yesterday. They reviewed the championship festival and discussed membership with the DC Officers. Membership will be a discussion topic again in October along with mental health and conflict resolution. Dr. Sherry Scanlon conducted a DISC assessment with the group. NCAA Management Council Update – Laura LiesmanLaura Liesman’s term ends after the 2020 NCAA Convention and the conference needs to submit a new slate for a replacement. The conference needs to submit an AD, SWA, and FAR. A conference office member may be submitted as well. The conference will solicit nominations for the group to vote on. The conference must submit nominations before August 2nd. The MC discussed gambling legislation which is currently being regulated by each state. The goal is to make 21 the legal gambling age. D2University is up and running and there is continued discussion on how to use the platform for additional education. D1 and D3 plans to move forward with a similar educational model as implemented by D2. E-Sports was tabled by the Board of Governors until it is brought forward again for discussion. Transfer Portal Legislation was brought forward, however the D2 Presidents Council took no action. The proposal would prevent a student-athlete from being denied grant in aid at the certifying institution if permission to contact was not granted by previous institution. Laura Liesman would like to move the proposal forward from the membership. Ronnie Palmer would support allowing the certifying institution to give aid while the SA sits out the year since coaches are not penalized for the same action. Laura Liesman made a motion to sponsor a notification of transfer proposal to replace permission to contact and to seek a cosponsor for the 2020 Convention. Dan Mara noted this will need to be reviewed by the CACC Presidents Council. Ronnie Palmer seconded. Motion passed: 14-0. The CACC will draft the proposal.DII Championships Committee Update – Tom ShirleyThe D2 Championships Committee is implementing fines if a conference does not submit the overall AQ forms before the deadline. They are also focusing on gender equity. They are in the first of three years of their triangle budget. Julie Ruppert rotated off of the committee followed by Tom. Preference for a replacement will likely be given to the ECC. DII ADA Report – Sheila WootenThe NACDA Convention is June 9-12 in Orlando. The D2 ADA had one conference call since the last Directors Council meeting. All CACC schools were official members this year. All members should have received a salary survey. Several CACC schools did not receive the survey. Sheila Wooten will send the survey out to the group. The Directors Council took a break from 10:08AM until 10:25AMBaseball Officials Fees (Supplement #8)The CACC is at the end of the baseball officials fees agreement. Nick Zibelli has proposed no increases through 2022 and for the assignor stipend to remain the same at $500 per school. Tom Shirley made a motion to extend the agreement through 2023. Marc Caserio seconded. Stefanie Whitby asked about what training is provided for Zibelli’s officials. Training is ongoing for officials and include mandatory attendance at his camp over the summer in Florida. Motion passed: 11-1-2.CACC Championships Committee Report – Sheila Wooten (distributed at meeting)Evaluation of Winter/Spring ChampionshipsAll schools did a great job hosting the respective championships. Access to Championship RatiosA document was provided to the committee to view as an informational piece. The document shows the conference tries to stay in the range between half to two-thirds of competing teams in the 11 sports that qualify for the respective championship fields. Coaches (Championship) Action ItemsCross CountryCoaches’ Motion: To increase the number of allowed participants in the CACC Championship meet from seven (7) to eight (8) per school, scoring the top five (5). Championships Committee Discussion: No action was taken by the Championships Committee. The proposal has been put forward in the past without successful approval by the Championships Committee and Directors Council. Additionally, not all teams have eight runners on the roster so they could not reach that mark. Finally, the course at Belmont Plateau, which is usually selected for the championship races, is narrow in certain areas and may not be able to hold the extra runners adequately.Women’s LacrosseCoaches’ Motion: To alternate having a day off in between the CACC semifinals and final each year with the men. Effective for the 2020 tournament, the women’s semifinals would be played on Thursday and final on Saturday. The men’s semifinals would be played on Friday and final on Saturday. This would rotate each year.Championships Committee Discussion: No action was taken by the Championships Committee. The proposal does not line up with the structure of the current Championship Festival, which has at least two more years remaining. With no lighted field, games would either need to begin at 8 a.m., to get four semifinal games in for one day, or start the Festival a day earlier on Wednesday to have two semifinals that day and the other two on Thursday. Additionally, men’s lacrosse is considered a collision sport and benefits from a day off.Directors Council Discussion: Tom Shirley said it is difficult to justify giving the men a day off but not the women. Laura Liesman explained that men’s lacrosse is a collision sport, therefore, they are justified in having a day off. Ronnie Palmer added that it will be difficult to change the format with the upcoming move to a two-day track and field championship. Tom Shirley suggested semifinals be played at higher seeds. This would be an issue if GCU is in the semifinals and would be hosting games during the festival. The ECC plays first round games on campus and then has two days off in between semis and finals. The NE10 plays their semis back-to-back at 11AM and 2PM with the final at 1PM the next day. Tom Shirley made a motion to move the semifinal game times to 11:00AM and 1:30PM to provide additional rest time. Laura Liesman seconded. Motion passed: 14-0. Track and FieldCoaches’ Motion: To add the 4x800-meter relay to the CACC Track & Field Championship. Championships Committee Discussion: No action was taken by the Championships Committee. The 4x800 is not an event contested at the NCAA Division II National Championship Meet. D1 doesn’t sponsor the event either. If that changes, then the coaches should bring the proposal forward if there is continued interest. BaseballCoaches’ Motion: To make the first round a best-of-three series instead of a single-elimination game. Championships Committee Discussion: No action was taken by the Championships Committee. Most schools do not have their own field, so it is challenging to reserve off-campus fields for a three-day span (entire weekend), while not knowing if they would host a series depending on how the regular season pans out. Some teams who rent facilities have had issues getting an afternoon starting time for the single-elimination game as they are not able to reserve the field until late in the season after the standings sort themselves out. Additionally, the conference budget has been created for the 2019-20 year, and funding is not currently in place to pay additional umpire fees for more games.Championship Host Applications – Championships Committee Recommendations (non-festival sports)Women’s Tennis – Post UniversityCross Country – Chestnut Hill (Belmont Plateau)Soccer – Post UniversityVolleyball – Holy Family UniversityBasketball – University of the SciencesMen’s Tennis – Post UniversityBaseball – Post University Kathy Laoutaris made motion to accept entire site slate of championship host sites, as recommended by the Championships Committee. Marc Caserio seconded. Motion passed: 13-0. Festival ReviewConsensus from the committee was that the Festival was well received during its first year and created a great environment for the competing student-athletes. Small items that can be easily corrected were brought up and will be reviewed by the Festival Committee prior to next spring’s Championship Festival. Discussion was had about combining the men’s lacrosse and softball banquets, and if there was a way to split them up.Bat testing was delayed during softball because not all coaches were following testing procedures. Tom Shirley voiced concern about there not being enough space at the baseball banquet and not enough food at the softball/mlax banquet. He noted it is difficult when they are trying build roster sizes and then have to ask students to stay home from championships. 2018-19 Coaches Action Items (Supplement #9)Men’s SoccerCoaches’ Motion: To use the “Brilliant Super” soccer ball that is made by Select.The ball recommended by the coaches is $130 per ball and is only used at the professional level. The conference has negotiated to change to the Select Super which meets the needs and is the same price ($70) as the Brilliant Collegiate. This change will apply to women’s soccer as well. Schools will need to buy the new match balls for this Fall.Coaches’ Motion: For the conference office to buy two open-mike headsets for each school (1 for each gender) to provide for officials to use at home soccer matches. Mark Corino is concerned about the financial implications and Tom Shirley is concerned about headset maintenance. John Collins did not appear to be in favor of the headsets when he spoke with the ADs in September. Laura Liesman and Keith Davie believe the headsets are beneficial and may improve game behavior by allowing officials to communicate more effectively. Laura Liesman made a motion to approve the coaches’ proposal. Stefanie Whitby seconded. Dan Mara does not think the headset pricing information included in the supplement is accurate. Keith Davie does not think the group should vote until accurate pricing estimates are provided. Laura Liesman withdrew her motion and Stefanie Whitby withdrew her second. Dan Mara will reach out to John Collins for pricing information and the DC will review the proposal at a future date for potential implementation in the 2020 season.VolleyballCoaches’ Motion: To provide log-in information for CACC head coaches to use to watch the CACC Volleyball Championship.The Directors Council believes this is part of being a coach and $5 is not an unreasonable price to pay in order to view the webcast. No action taken by the Directors Council. Coaches’ Motion: For all 14 schools to provide both coaches with printed, in-game statistics following each set in all conference matches. This item is being brought forward for second year in a row. Currently, Presto Stats does not provide reports in between sets. Coaches can have an iPad or device on their benches to view the current stats. No action was taken by the Directors Council. Coaches’ Motion: If the action item listed above was to not be approved by the Directors Council, then the coaches would like for schools that currently do print stats to provide them for both coaches in between sets (not just for the home team).Presto does not provide reports in between sets. Stefanie Whitby made a motion for any stats that are printed by the home team to be provided to both coaches. Laura Liesman seconded. Motion passed: 14-0. This applies to basketball as well and will be added to the operating codes.Crossover, which volleyball has used for film exchange has been taken over by Hudl. Crossover will exist through June of 2020, but will not include the same support services. Laura Liesman made a motion for volleyball to use Hudl for film exchange instead of Crossover, effective for the 2019-20 year. Kathy Laoutaris seconded. Motion passed: 14-0. Tim McAleer – Men’s Basketball Assignor – UpdateTim has 108 referees, 65 of which are D1 and 58 who work in the CACC and ECC. After this year, he will have lost 15 officials and will be adding 17. He has assigned the CACC since 06-07 and the ECC since 04-05. Tim explained the impact of the consortium. Coaches in the CACC do not tend to rate officials, but Tim does field calls from coaches to gain feedback. Laura Liesman asked about getting student-athletes interested in becoming officials. Tim will send information to the ADs regarding camps for beginners. He can also ask representatives from the officials certification program to visit institutions. The Directors Council took a lunch break from 12:12PM until 12:52PMWomen’s BasketballCoaches’ Motion: For the CACC to co-sponsor the proposed legislation from the NE10 regarding changing the recruiting calendar (fall/spring/quiet period) for Division II women’s basketball. Tom Shirley made a motion to approve the coaches’ proposal to co-sponsor the NE10 legislation. Keith Davie seconded. Bethann Burke is not in favor of this proposal because it takes recruiting opportunities away from coaches who attend events during the specified dates. Tom Shirley added that tournaments which take place during the specified dates are low caliber, which is why the prices are lower. The men’s side has addressed the cost issue by imposing cost limits for NCAA sanctioned tournaments during the live tournaments. Motion failed: 1-13Coaches’ Motion: To change the pre-game routine to have the National Anthem performed, then have both teams go to center court to shake a player’s hands from the opposing team. Then for the starting lineups, both teams remain separate and avoid handshakes with officials and opposing coaches across the court.Laura Liesman made a motion to approve the proposed pre-game routine for men’s and women’s basketball. Sheila Wooten seconded. For the men’s games, the code of conduct will be read instead of playing the National Anthem. Motion passed: 13-1.Mark Corino believes the bigger issue is the post-game handshake protocol. The DC had a discussion about eliminating the post-game player handshake, which seems to lead to behavioral conflicts, particularly in soccer. Stefanie Whitby made a motion to remove the post-game handshake in all conference and non- conference games in all sports. Marc Caserio seconded. There is concern that not all sports have any type of pre-game handshake, therefore removing the post-game handshake in all sports may not be appropriate. Stefanie Whitby withdrew her motion and Marc Caserio withdrew his second. Ronnie Palmer suggested each AD have a conversation with their President before further discussion is had regarding removal of post-game handshakes. This will be discussed with the Presidents Council in November and the ADs can review post-game handshake behavior over the course of the year.Men’s TennisCoaches’ Motion: To return to a single round robin format for the regular season conference schedule (play each team once).The DC discussed that maintaining the double round robin format only adds five more matches. Additionally, some schools find it difficult to schedule non-conference matches. No action was taken by the Directors Council. Coaches’ Motion: To have at least one official at each regular season conference match, at the expense of the host institution.The Directors Council discussed budget implications of this proposal and the lack of an impact one official will have on six courts. Each school may hire officials if they choose. No action was taken by the Directors Council. Men’s LacrosseCoaches’ Motion: To institute a men’s lacrosse film exchange policy. The policy would require the home team coach to upload the game film (CACC and non-conference) to Hudl within 24 hours of game start time. The uploads are to be monitored by the head coaches and any issues are to be forwarded to the conference office. Effective for the 2019-20 academic year.Laura Liesman made a motion to approve the film exchange policy. Ronnie Palmer seconded. Motion passed: 10-0-4SoftballNo action items were brought forward by the softball coaches, however, Kathy Laoutaris (DC Liaison) reviewed several discussion items:Identifying an ordering deadline for the Wilson softballs.Interest in modifying the championship format to provide more of an advantage to 1 & 2 seeds. It was suggested any proposals to modify the format be brought forward after the final year of the festival.Sportsmanship issues at certain schools. Any sportsmanship issues should be formally submitted for review by the ethics committee.Concerns regarding having a joint banquet with men’s lacrosse and not being able to warm-up closer to the game fields.Championship Festival Review (Supplements #10A & #10B)Only 67 responses were received from student-athletes. Moving forward, it is recommended the survey be sent ahead of time, or to provide a QR code to hand out with the t-shirts. Georgian Court staff did a great job hosting and all constituents in the conference contributed. More staffing is needed for certain track and field events and fewer in the parking lot and other areas. It was suggested that the responsibilities sheet be handed out to staff upon arrival. It was also suggested that game administrators be announced during pre-game to make fans aware and that a “floater” be assigned during each game as well. There is need for a bigger/larger scoreboard on softball field 2. The conference brought in $10,300 in gate revenue; $900 of which was from credit card transactions (Square). The track and field officials were a concern and it is recommended the conference secure officials now for next year’s championship. Victory ScholarsThe CACC only had one student-athlete nominated this yea. The nominee is a USciences women’s basketball player who just completed her second interview. NCAA RAC/CACC Committees – Voting Results (Distributed Separately)There was a tie for the administrator position on the Leadership Development Committee. The DC agreed to add both individuals to the roster. The updated committee and RAC rosters will be distributed via email.Kathy Laoutaris asked about allowing a coach to serve on a RAC who has not coached in the league yet. The NCAA does not have a policy regarding that issue, nor does the CACC. This concern can be alleviated by including information regarding each nominee on the ballot next year, and for voting to be conducted after meeting discussion has taken place. ISSG List/Peer Review Schedule (Supplement #13)All visits and reports are completed for the 18-19 year. If your institution was visited and you have not received feedback, reach out to your President for the report. Four schools will be visited next year—Jefferson was added as the fourth school since their membership is being reviewed next year. A professional development position was added to the peer review teams this year. The team member list/nominees will be sent to the DC. Recommendations must be sent in an email from the president.Sport Sponsorship Update (Supplement #14)No changes have been made since the April 1st meeting.Scheduling (D3/NAIA) – Laura LiesmanThere is concern that when teams play against D3/NAIA schools it negatively impacts regional rankings. This seems to mostly be an issue in softball. It is requested that ADs and coaches be conscious of who they are scheduling and to try to avoid D3/NAIA schools. Nominating/Voting All-Region – Laura LiesmanNot all coaches are voting for all-region honors. It is a conference requirement for every coach to be a member of the organization that runs their respective All-America awards program. Tom Brennan suggested schools be fined if coaches do not vote. It is requested that ADs make sure coaches follow through on voting. Qualifications for Top XVI Award – Laura Liesman (Supplement #12)Laura Liesman made a motion for only student-athletes who have earned a minimum of 48 credits towards their GPA at the CACC institution be eligible for the CACC Top XVI Award. Ties are to be broken by number of credits. Tom Shirley seconded. Motion passed: 13-0. Conference Day of Service/Professional Development – Tom BrennanTom Brennan suggested a conference-wide train-the-trainer program be developed or bystander intervention. Tom Brennan will spearhead a group to compile ideas and budget information. It is requested that topics from each campus be sent to Tom. The SWAs will brainstorm ideas during their meeting in October as well.Dan Mara presented Laura Liesman with the AD of the Year Award and thanked her for her service and leadership on Management Council.Baseball DH Format – Marc Caserio (Supplement #11)Marc Caserio made a motion to make all conference double headers 7 innings. Tom Shirley seconded. This will reduce umpire fees but may have a negative impact on regional rankings and awards because fewer stats will be compiled. This will be tabled until May 31st, 2019 to allow ADs time to discuss the change with their coaches.Meeting adjourned at 3:10PMCACC DIRECTORS COUNCILSummary of ActionsMay 31, 2019Sands – Bethlehem, PALehigh Meeting Room Attendees:Bloomfield: Sheila WootenCaldwell: Mark CorinoChestnut Hill: Jess DayConcordia: Kathy LaoutarisDominican: Joe Clinton and Kelly-Ann LightFelician: Andrew TorielloGeorgian Court: Laura Liesman and Mary WilliamsGoldey-Beacom: Tom BrennanHoly Family: Tim HamillJefferson: Tom ShirleyNyack: Keith DaviePost: Ronnie PalmerSciences: Marc Caserio and Cindy RabideauWilmington: Stefanie Whitby and Erin HarveyCACC: Dan Mara, Doug DeBiase, and Ellen O’BrienMeeting commenced at 9:00AMMark Corino presented Dan Mara with an award on behalf of the Directors Council for his induction into the CT Women’s Basketball HOF. 2020-21 CACC Schedules Review/Approval (Distributed Previously)Kathy Lauotaris made a motion to approve the 2020-21 schedules. Laura Liesman seconded. Motion passed: 14-0.Baseball Proposal (Discussion Continued)The motion to play all conference double-headers as two 7 inning games is still on the table and has a second (Marc Caserio and Tom Shirley). Stefanie Whitby noted we are potentially changing the 9-7 format after only one year. Dan Mara noted that the change coincided with the move to aluminum bats. Playing fewer innings will reduce missed class time for student-athletes. Facility availability is a concern as well, with many schools renting fields for conference games. Motion passed: 7-5-2.Mark Corino asked Ronnie Palmer to head a subcommittee to develop a formal proposal regarding the baseball schedule and format to reduce the number of games played. The subcommittee will also include Tom Shirley, Marc Caserio, Joe Clinton, Stefanie Whitby, and Doug DeBiase. Communications Update – Doug DeBiaseThe CACC is working on developing a resources page for student-athletes to access. This may include information regarding mental health, life skills, interview techniques, resume building, money management, etc. The next step after the portal is developed is to create an email listserv which student-athletes and administrators may sign up for. Informational items can then be distributed directly to those that sign up. The conference would also like to develop a list of “experts” from each campus who are knowledgeable about certain topics and can run a webinar for students to view.As of February 15, the CACC Network had a combined 105,000 viewers. The conference brought in $2,096 in webstreaming revenue. Doug DeBiase will follow up with Josh of Blue Frame to see what percentage the conference will be bring in from webstreaming revenue next year.Financial Report (Distributed Separately)The CACC took in $39k on investments this year.2018-19 Restaino Cup and Sportsmanship Award Results – Doug DeBiaseMen’s Sportsmanship: NyackWomen’s Sportsmanship: SciencesMen’s Restaino Cup: WilmingtonWomen’s Restaino Cup: Georgian CourtThe scholar athlete of the year awards and academic team awards per sport will be announced over the summer.
