Prior to Covid Lindenwood was looking to go D1 which is a nice fit for us and the league. Also, UMKC had discussed adding baseball since they have a nice facility to use (softball already does). NCO is a welcome addition for baseball.
More importantly, think about the future... 20 years from now when people from the coast lines have to relocate and as the landscape changes WIU will still be around to welcome students. Find a new fantasy, we are the longest tenured team in the league and have turned down the OVC repeatedly.
