CNU was included. If you include D3 you have to include Weslyan too. Regent will probably be D3 within a decade.

I think Regent is going D3 now. Their track and field/ cross country schedule has them competing with D3 schools in the state.

I just looked up Regents master plan looks like their adding a ton of sports over the next few years.

• Men’s & Women’s Volleyball – 2018
• Men’s & Women’s Soccer – 2018
• Men’s & Women’s Basketball – 2019
• Wrestling – 2019
• Men's & Women's Golf – 2020

Regent is in the early development stage of building a state-of-the-art 40-acre athletic complex with NCAA-certified courts and modern facilities.
• Soccer Field
• Football Field
• Tennis Courts
• Track
• Softball Field
• Baseball Field
• Lacrosse Field
• Basketball Field House
• Volleyball Courts
• Track
• Wrestling Gym
• Rock Climbing Wall Gym
• Boxing Ring Gym
• Fitness & Weight Training Equipment

Right now they're members of the NCCAA, which doesn't preclude dual membership in the NCAA or NAIA. With few NCCAA and NAIA members nearby, they almost have to aim for D3. Guessing the aim would be membership in USA South, because I can't imagine the ODAC taking a new program. Maybe the Capital, which has four Virginia schools (including CNU) and Salisbury.

Do they have a mascot yet? I'm guessing it'll be something Christian-themed, like Crusaders or Lions.

A mascot is coming soon. Hoping they stay away from Lions. Theres only room for one Big Blue Beast in town. Then again, if we start having to worry about Regent, ODU is in trouble. Then again part 2, I never thought Id see the day we'd have Liberty nipping at our heels either.

Looks like it's coming Friday; the school has a pressed at 6 pm to announce a logo and nickname.
