I didn't mention the EIVA DIII possibility because it was already mentioned by a previous poster. To answer your questions. Yes, NCAA would allow a DI-II championship based on past published articles. DIII did not want to gain a championship at the expense of the other divisions' loss. That should answer your second question. The Molten invitational would disappear with a sanctioned NCAA DIII championship, and the NCAA championship would only be for DI-II. There has been discussion about a couple DIII schools who may still want to have the "opportunity" for a NCAA title competing against the DI-II schools. Not sure if the NCAA would force such DIII schools to make a decision. My instinct would be they would force the school to compete only for the DIII championship because that is their affiliated division and such championship was created. Only 8 schools (I think that is the current correct number) has been grandfathered into playing a male and a female sport up (i.e. Division III Rutgers-Newark playing Division I men's volleyball with scholarships). Thanks for the clarification.
