FYI - Augustana has won D-II national championships in men’s basketball (2016) and baseball (2018). In addition, women’s hoops made it to the Final Four (2013) and wrestling has a couple of national runner-up seasons (2005, 2010).
Now official.
Guessing I’m not the only one who didn’t realize there was a Dixie State? lol
Among NN.N “old timers,” Dixie State best known as the landing spot for Vincent Grier between his respective stints as a Niner frosh and then as a Minnesota Gopher upperclassman.
clt didn’t see our invite to the SEC, #fakenews
Even if we were in this top 100 I’d hate this concept. The NCAA isn’t supposed to be pro or semi-pro. It’s amateur athletics and I hate that these get rich guys keep pushing this elitist agenda.
I know it’s supposed to be “amateur athletics” but it isn’t and hasn’t been for a very long time. The idea of top level college football being “amateur” is very dead.
D-II Bellarmine University in Louisville latest to consider move to D-I. Private Catholic school with an enrollment of almost 4,000 students.

Raise your hand if you never heard of Ballarmine before this.

When it comes to realignment, words mean very little! Also reminded of the recent $40 million deficit in UConn athletics.
For those just reading headlines, that article is from February.
