THE NUMBER OF colleges with football teams continues togrow.

There are seven schools that are competing for the first timethis fall.

The new NCAA Division II programs are Limestone (S.C.)and Paine (Ga.).

George Fox (Ore.) is in Division II and Arizona Christian,College of Idaho, Missouri Baptist and Southwestern (Fla.) areNAIA.

Eight more schools will begin competing next fall.Texas-Permian Basin and West Florida will be new Division II

members.East Tennessee State is Division I and Kennesaw (Ga.) State

will be Division I-AA.Finlandia (Mich.) and Mortland (Mich.) are Division III and

new NAIA members are Lyon (Ark.) and Davenport (Mich.).There are currently 767 college football teams and 51 of these

are new since 2008.

TEXAS-PERMIAN BASIN beginning football in 2015 as anNCAA Division II member makes the school a prospect for theLone Star Conference.

The Division II programs in Texas are in the LSC.The LSC will have only seven schools with football teams

after this season: Angelo State, Eastern New Mexico, MidwesternState, Tarleton State, Texas A&M-Commerce, Texas A&M-Kingsville and West Texas A&M.

There needs to be at least one more team in order to fill theLSC postseason playoff bracket.

McMurry is the eighth school this year but the WarHawksmove back to Division III at the completion of the 2014 schedule.

On the National Football Foundation website, UTPB lists itsconference affiliation as “TBD by 2016”.

CODY HOPKINS, SON of former Javelina men’s basketballcoach Jerry Hopkins, has been named the director of basketballoperations at the University of New Mexico.

Cody has been an assistant men’s basketball coach at Texas-Pan American for the past year.

He was director of basketball operations at Texas Christian forthree seasons and was a member of the North Texas basketballstaff for one year.

Cody played at Northeastern Oklahoma and NorthernOklahoma Junior College.

Jerry was the assistant men’s basketball coach for theJavelinas in 1980-83 and became the head coach in 1983-84 andserved in the position through the 1990-91 season.

THERE WASN’T MUCH doubt as to who would be theNCAA Division II offensive player of the week last week.

He was national player of the week on at least two squads andreceived other accolades.

WHEN A TRAGEDY strikes any college athletic program, ithas an impact on the sports teams at all schools.

There is somewhat of a bond between all college athletes,regardless of the location or classification of the institution.

This was displayed last weekend with the tragic mini-busaccident that claimed the lives of four North Central Texas Collegesoftball players.

The team had been to Oklahoma City to meet SouthernNazarene in a fall scrimmage.

The bus was hit broadside by a truck.The Javelina athletic department not only has an association

with NCTC as a collegiate sports program but also as a schoolwhere the Javelinas have recruited athletes.

There are currently four players on the Javelina baseball teamwho played at the Gainesville school.

Pitcher Ryan Scott and outfielder Dustin Luna were on theroster last season and pitchers Dean Fleitman and Miguel Pontiffsare newcomers this year.

The TAMUK athletic staff and athletes join others fromthroughout the country in extending deepest sympathy to thefamilies of the young women who were killed in the accident andthe other athletes and coaches at the North Texas college.

several rule changes in baseball.Umpires will be allowed to conference in order to confirm or

overturn an original call on whether a fielder caught ball hit to theoutfield.

Currently, the rules allow umpires to conference on certainclose plays and now catches in the outfield have been added to thelist of plays.

The panel also approved expanding the experimental videoreplay rule to include “catch” and “no catch” plays.

Conferences will be able to request through the rules committeeto use the experimental video replay rule in regular season as well asconference tournament games.

The panel approved a new rule regarding batters hit bypitchers.

Starting next spring, a batter must make an attempt to avoidbeing hit by the ball. If the umpire rules the batter did not make anattempt to get out of the way, or that he leaned into the patch of theball, a pitch inside the strike zone that touches the batter will becalled a strike.

If the pitch is outside the strike zone, it will be a ball but ineither case, the batter will not be awarded first base.
