Picked up on this on the D2football.com website. Crookston has applied for membership in DIII, here is the official release.

Management Council Recommendation:

Anyways, I personally believe that this would be a good move for Crookston as they haven't even been treading water in DII. I know that Minot State has been kicking around DII for a while and this may be their chance. Once in DII their is talk of Hockey in their future which would be awesome, however this would kill any chance of NDSU hockey. :'( Bottom line is this move would be good for both North Dakota and Minot State. Are their any other schools in No-dak that could go DII? Maybe Dickinson? I highy doubt it though. The only other school I keep hearing about in regards to DII is Carol College. Anyways, here's to hoping this happens.
