NCAA Division II and III Football: Three AICUO Members to Host Division III First-Round Games
Beyond the new big-money Division I "College Football Playoff" being inaugurated this year, the NCAA has long sponsored actual football tournaments in Divisions I-AA, II, and III, and AICUO members are well represented once again this year. In fact, all Division III qualifiers will be hosting first-round games this weekend. In the mean time, the travel news is not so good in Division II, as the one team in the tournament from Ohio plays two time zones away.
In the non-scholarship Division III, Mount Union and John Carroll from the Ohio Athletic Conference and Wittenberg from the North Coast Athletic Conference play first-round games on their home fields on Saturday. Mount Union, last year's runner-up and 11-time national champion, plays Adrian (Mich.) at 12 noon. John Carroll returns to the tournament with a home game against Centre (Ky.), also at noon. Wittenberg, two-time national champion, hosts Washington & Jefferson (Pa.) with kickoff also at noon.
The Division II tournament also begins Saturday, with Ohio Dominican returning to postseason play but with a 1,274-mile trip to play Colorado School of Mines, starting at noon.
No AICUO member is participating in the NAIA football tournament.

NAIA Soccer Tournament Includes Both Men's and Women's Teams at Rio Grande and UNOH
The National Association for Intercollegiate Athletics, the NCAA's competitor for small-college sports, opens its soccer tournaments this weekend, and two AICUO members — the University of Rio Grande and the University of Northwestern Ohio — qualified both their men's and women's teams for this postseason.
Rio Grande's men are the no. 1 seed in the entire NAIA tournament: they play their first-round game at home against Baker (Kans.) on Saturday. UNOH's men travel to Georgia-Gwinett (outside Atlanta) for a first-round match, also on Saturday. Subsequent rounds in the NAIA tourney take place starting Dec. 1 at Delray Beach, Fla.
In women's play, UNOH has home-field advantage, playing William Woods (Mo.), also on Saturday, while Rio Grande travels to Cumberland (Tenn.) for a first-round game. After the first-round is complete, the remaining women's teams travel to Orange Beach, Ala., for all remaining games, also beginning Dec. 1.

NCAA Soccer, AICUO Members a Strong Combination in 2014
Members of the Association of Independent Colleges and
Universities of Ohio are well represented in this year’s NCAA Division II and
III soccer tournaments. Notre Dame in Division II and Kenyon in Division III
qualified both their men’s and women’s teams for postseason play; and a 2011
national champion and 2013 national semifinalist return this fall.
No AICUO member received the opportunity to host in the
first weekend of the women’s tournament. Last year’s national semifinalist,
Capital, won the Ohio Athletic Conference tournament and earned an automatic
bid; they travel for a first-round game Saturday against Gettysburg (Pa.) on
the campus of Messiah (Pa.). Kenyon’s women, like their men, won their
conference tournament; they make a shorter trip for a first-round game Saturday afternoon against Emory (Ga.) on the campus of Thomas More (Ky.).
In the Division II women’s
tournament, Notre Dame, regular season and tournament champions of the
Mountain East Conference, earned an automatic bid to its tournament. They will
face conference foe West Virginia Wesleyan on Friday in the first round at East
Stroudsberg (Pa.). Also qualifying was Ohio Dominican, which faces Great Lakes Conference foe Saginaw Valley State (Mich.)
in a first-round match Friday on the campus of Wisconsin-Parkside.
In men’s play, Notre Dame, runner-up of the Mountain East
Conference, received a first-round bye and will play a second-round match atMercyhurst (Pa.) on Sunday. Tiffin, a member of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference, also received an at-large bid to the tournament; its
first-round match against Drury (Mo.) takes place Friday, with the winner facing the
Central Region’s top seed, Quincy (Ill.), Saturday on its home field.

Your Vote, Your Voice
It is election season again and Your Vote, Your Voice 2014, higher education’s National Campus Voter Registration Project, has officially launched. Our campuses are full of voting-aged adults that may, or may not, know the proper steps to ensuring their voice is heard.
In 1998 Congress Congress mandated that all colleges and universities make a good-faith effort to distribute voter registration forms to all degree- or certificate-seeking students attending class on campus. To help our campuses with this effort the National Campus Voter Registration Project launched Your Vote, Your Voice.
The website, yourvoteyourvoice.org, is the centerpiece of a voter registration campaign that will run until Election Day, November 4, 2014. This website includes:

A couple of notes on the list:
It wasn’t that long ago that a bachelor’s degree was
not required for admission to law school, and that the first degree in law was
not considered advanced but just another bachelor’s degree. Such was the case
for Governor Frank Lausche, whose first degree earned was an LL.B. at what at
the time was the independent nonprofit John Marshall Law School in Cleveland,
which became part of Cleveland State University in 1969; and also for Governor
Thomas Herbert, who attended only Case Western Reserve Law School.
National Normal University, which Governor Myers
Cooper attended, was a teacher’s college located in Lebanon; it closed in 1917.
Happy Fourth of July!
