PantherU: Sources Confirm Oakland to Horizon League

[NDSUstudent]

Obviously a huge blow to the Summit League....

Multiple anonymous sources are confirming to PantherU that Oakland is indeed coming to the Horizon League, confirming what was reported in the Green Bay Press Gazette by Rob Demovsky on April 4th. The Horizon League will likely announce Oakland in the next couple weeks.

Oakland University, located just twenty miles away from the University of Detroit Mercy, brings the membership back to nine programs. No word on whether or not a tenth member was forthcoming, although none of PantherU's sources had any idea.

He has been wrong before...but I did see Hallstrom tweet something about Oakland leaving the Summit a few days ago so he might be right this time.

I don't think anyone saw Oakland still in the Summit 10 years from now... It was bound to happen.

Summit is now at 8 teams.... 1 in 8 chance of dancing every year!!

If Oakland leaves and plays in the HL next year, we'll have 5 teams but only four are eligible.
