    St. Thomas to DI could come much earlier than expected:

    It will be interesting to see what they come up with for a reclassification period.
    The weather in Fargo keeps the undesirables out.....

    St Thomas playing St Johns at US Bank Stadium next year.

    the 1 article i read said it'll be the last game ever between the 2.

    I question that, because if ST Thomas is in Pioneer for Football, couldn't they keep playing St Johns? or is there a rule about a D1 vs a D3 in football?

    Maybe St Johns is pulling a UND and refusing to play St Thomas after they move up? Serious question/thought

    No, I know that answer. St Johns wants to play. St Thomas just hasnt made a decision and where they are going yet.

    I may be mistaken, but I thought you could only play down one division. So FBS cannot play DII, and FCS cannot play DIII.

    But going DI isn't official yet, is it?

    I'm pretty sure this isn't a rule - I don't think it's that uncommon for the lower end of FCS to play DIII or NAIA teams. E.g. in 2017 Campbell played DIII Methodist from NC.

    There's no NCAA rule about who you can/can't play division-wise, but I believe many FBS conferences(especially P5) have internal rules about only playing FBS/FCS.
