NJCAA Mens -- 3 Point Arc

[bob jenkins]

Asking for a local JuCO -- is NJCAA Men's using the new, farther, 3-point line this season, or are they using the older line (same as NCAAW), or does it vary by conference / school, or something else.

References (that I can copy and paste to the school) appreciated.

No, they are going to the newer line next year as the rules change was only for Division 1. All lower-level college is staying with the older line for now. I thought there was some literature on this, but I cannot seem to find it directly about JUCO.

The rulebook says that the new 3-point line is in effect for Division I this season, but not for the other divisions. It will be in effect in 2020-21.

NCAA D1 or NJCAA D1? Has any NAIA adopted it?

NCAA D1.

Generally any rule change that isn't in effect for D2/D3 until a later year also isn't in effect for the NAIA or NJCAA until that same time.

The NCAA rulebook does not directly mention junior college or NAIA, so any time it refers to Division I, Division II, or Division III, such as with the 3-point line or testing the rings, it refers to NCAA Division I, etc. As SC Official mentioned, junior colleges follow the timeline for lower divisions. NAIA also follows the timeline for lower divisions when it comes to adopting changes.
