two words....david shula. this too shall endCould end up for the best. I feel like if Bama was kicked from the SEC every conference would be knocking on the door to get them. Same idea here.
These decisions are also pretty short-sighted. If they're set up to keep winning for the next ~5 years someone could jump at that opportunity.two words....david shula. this too shall end
I'm more concerned how they're called St. Thomas and its rival is Saint John's.
Pick a damn spelling and stick with it.
Maybe the discrepancy is why they're rivalsI mean if they're rivals doesn't it kind of make more sense to use different spellings?

I've proposed a split of the DII Northern Sun Conference along state lines. 6 of the 7 non-Minnesota schools in the conference (all of them except D1-bound Augustana) would leave to form a new conference, adding Dakota State, Dickinson State, Central (IA), Peru State and UW-Whitewater from lower levels, and NU-Kearney from the MIAA.
The Minnesota schools, retaining the NSIC name, add not only St. Thomas but also Gustavus Adolphus and the tandem of Saint John's and Saint Benedict from the MIAA come 2021.
What is happening to St. Thomas is really an opportunity to move up to the next level.
Hell, I think the conferences should kick out the other end of the spectrum for not being worth a shit. Oregon State, Rutgers, Kansas, etal.Could end up for the best. I feel like if Bama was kicked from the SEC every conference would be knocking on the door to get them. Same idea here.
Not sure that makes as much difference at the college level like it does at the high school level.I'm not saying I agree with this decision, after all the MIAC didn't boot St. John's when Gagliardi was there and was so dominant, but there may be more going on here than meets the eye. I saw another article that pointed out that St. Thomas has an enrollment that is about double anybody else in the conference, which is something the ESPN article linked pretty much glosses over. So there's a case that St. Thomas would maybe be better suited for DII instead.
