Basketball is the ONLY sport at IUP that could consider such a move. The infrastructure is there. Or, it's at least in the realm of possibility.
While the football program is strong, its facilities are a joke. Miller Stadium wouldn't even be a nice WPIAL Class 2A stadium. The other football-related amenities -- weight room, lockers, etc., ... are awful. You could get in the Hot Tub Time Machine, land in 1985 ... and still say they are awful.
Historically, most of the other sports have been treated like, well, basically a collection of red-headed step children. Although I will say the new AD seems to be putting much more attention toward them.
Basketball-wise, the immediate question would be where would they even go? The Northeast Conference would fight tooth and nail to keep them out. And, being honest, joining that league would be about as exciting as watching grass grow.
This topic comes up every time they play well in to March. The men's program is set up to win here year after year.

True, Especially now with all the budget problems. I do think IUP playing the Saint Francis schedule for example, would gain alot more student interest. There is sort of a validation that for some reason comes with the DI label regardless of the quality of play - SFU doesn't look very good this year. They only get ~ 500 a game attendance at home, too. It s all just speculation though, and what we have is pretty good. A national Championship will mean alot to the university. But Nation's question was would you rather have a good IUP team playing a game or two in the big dance ? I think that would get more notice than the D2 National Championship. Remember the buzz when Robert Morris made the tournament.Originally posted by IUPbigINDIANS View Post
