MIAC trying to force out St Thomas

Seems awful similar to the NCC/D2 mindset of the 90s except they can't institute by laws to take away scholarships in non-scholly D3 so they want to use enrollment against them. Pretty sad mentality IMO... if they're staying within the rules everyone else in the division/conference plays under this just makes the rest of the MIAC look like sore losers. Hopefully the rest of the MVFC/FCS doesn't get any ideas.

We see this often. The let’s change them because we can’t get better.

That’s a achool that could afford to move up to the summit

That would be a really nice school to have in the summit.

How so? Not on board with this at all. D2 seems more appropriate. Plus you can't go straight to D1 from D3, no?

I find it interesting that while the P5 raises the bar the rest of us seem to want to lower it.

Ignoring the fact that they are currently D3, the only Summit/MVFC schools that would be on board with this are the bottom feeders, since it would create more recruiting competition in the cities.

Not a great institutional fit, but a great university/athletic department.

There is a school in New Jersey that used to be known as Glassboro State College. Think a much bigger Minot State (nearly 20k students) in rural New Jersey (there actually is such a thing!). Legend has it in the early 90s they were hosting a fundraising event and a gentleman who attended asked someone what it would take to name the university after him. They gave him a number ($100m) and he wrote a check. The school is now Rowan University name after industrialist Henry Rowan. Not a bad legacy! I don't know if his children attended the university though.

There is a school in Sioux Falls that used to be known as Augustana College. Think a much bigger Minot State (nearly 20k students) in urban South Dakota (there actually is such a thing!). Legend has it in the 2010s they were hosting a fundraising event and a gentleman who attended asked someone what it would take to name the university after him. They gave him a number ($100m) and he wrote a check. The school is now Sanford University name after T. Denny Sanford. Not a bad legacy! I don't know if his children attended the university though.

Fixed for future events.
