A point about aesthetics: Please spell out the full team name whenever possible and drop the simple, often misleading directional abbreviations. West Virginia is different from Western Michigan, East Carolina from Eastern Nazareth. North Texas is different from Northern Iowa and North Park. And is Texas A&M, Corpus Christie such a stretch from Texas A&M, Kingsville? And for goodness sakes, it's North Carolina, not UNC. And California, not Cal. Recognizable acronyms are OK (the Cal State and Univ.of California system schools, for instance, and the OTHER UNC schools, Univ of Texas system), but it looks better to have full school names included.
Agree completely on spelling out names of the teams with "West" and "State" and in Div-3 writing it as "Connecticut College", "Rhode Island College", etc, to distinguish them from Div-1 Connecticut (UConn), Rhode Island (URI), etc., same with Colorado College. Also would be a good opportunity to change it to "Detroit Mercy" and "Saint Louis".
.
Also, the font used for team names in the Standings page, which matches the play-by-play, schedule, and roster font, is too weak and light... instead, i would use the current HD font, or even the font used here in the forum messages that i'm typing with now.
.
Also, I always thought HD should have Providence as straight black-and-white like HD Long Island U and HD Bowdoin, rather than the gray-silver primary color.
