There are reports on Twitter that UWGB will drop from DI.  They have fired their MBB staff.

Maybe there are looking at D2 and the CCHA?

 

I've seen one random person tweet a question asking about dropping from D1. Please link to some of these "reports" you're seeing.

Covid-19 will do to college athletics what it does to humans: Go after the weakest and most frail. The strong may feel some affects or be asymptomatic. 

That said, maybe this will force the NCAA to look at sport sponsorship requirements in a world of declining enrollments and sagging budgets.

And Florida Tech just dropped football, so that's another kick to the balls.

(Just kidding. FIT is a small DII tech/engineering school that wants to be in the same mold as RPI or RIT. A DI move from them is highly, highly unlikely.)

Crookston and St Cloud just ahead of the times.

Was an interesting read.  Be interesting to see which schools would be in the best position to add and wonder which are going to drop.

Any mention of those "reports" of UWGB going to D2?

There have been no additional reports that UW-Eau Claire will move to DiI either, although it must happen for both UWGB and UWEC CCHA hockey.

Some friction in the Big Sky, as their dropping games in conference.

Where does it say 2 new FBS leagues form. It shows ten schools that could join current FBS leagues. And you are linking to an article that says NDSU could join the Big 10? 

NDSU is in the B1G region according to that writer, which will never happen unless a new 60k domed stadium is built and billions is added to it's endowment.

 

He also lists UMass, UConn, Liberty, UTEP, Army and five other FBS memb asers as joining those two new FBS leagues.  Thought it was required to bash any thought of a new FBS league here by NDSU fans.

Apparently, Robert Morris might get added to the Horizon this month and the MVFC might have to cancel RMU vs MVFC games.

This writer has no information from the schools and no idea of what’s needed to go FBS. He just picked teams that have been pretty good in FCS. 

Pointed out that in another forum, and my reaction  was excorriated.  Also, FBS teams that move to FCS leagues before they get FBS payments won't get new ones until their regualified.

NDSU being is a league with NMSU, UNM, UTEP isn't easily happening
