===Regional realignment=== |
|||
The South Region was renamed the Southeast Region but stayed the same, while the Northeast Region lost the [[Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference|GLIAC]]. The West Region lost the [[Great Northwest Athletic Conference|GNAC]], gained the [[Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association|MIAA]], and became the Southwest Region. The new Northwest Region contained the GLIAC and GNAC, plus the [[North Central Conference|NCC]] and [[Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference|NSIC]] from the former Midwest Region. |
