Talk:Heart of America Athletic Conference

Update

Hi Msjraz64, you recently made a change to the article updating current commissioner name but at the same time, you also removed the region details and changed the headquarters from Kansas City to Overland Park. Update is okay and appreciated but the later one? May I know a reason of this change. Do you have a reliable source for the HQ change and removal of regions thing? On their official website, HQ is listed as Kansas City. Thank you. Anupmehra -Let's talk! 08:37, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Well, I just noticed that regions do not exist anymore, therefore have removed that entry. But I'm still looking for a reliable source for the change of headquarters from Kansas City to Overland Park. Anupmehra -Let's talk! 08:44, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

@Anupmehra: The first sentence on List of NAIA regions states "NAIA regions no longer exist." which comes from the October 17, 2012 edit. There is no mention of a regional plan at naia.org, and a search for "naia regional plan" (or any form of the phrase) returns nothing. The Heart of America Athletic Conference facebook page states "10829 Barton St, Overland Park, Kansas 66210" as the conference address. Sorry for the delay, I'm having wifi connection problems.

@Anupmehra: After reading your inquiry again; I think you were confusing the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, which is the national organization that the Heart of America Athletic Conference is a member of, with the HAAC. The external link you referenced was directed to the NAIA website not the HAAC website. The NAIA headquarters are in Kansas City, Missouri and, according to the conference's facebook page, the HAAC headquarters are in Overland Park, Kansas. I really don't know if the HAAC has always been in Overland Park since the conference was founded or if they moved there at some time in the past but it seems that the correct current location is Overland Park.

Yep, you are right. I messed up things a bit. Well, they recently moved to Overland Park. Thanks for updating the article. :) Anupmehra -Let's talk! 18:15, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Heart of America Athletic Conference

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Heart of America Athletic Conference's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
