Re: G-MAC All-Sports and Conference Business Thread
The NCAA would have to create another conference and nix one, I get your point. Sometime in the near future the G-MAC will need two divisions.
Any NAIA Program can be taken off that list, and I'm not sure which of those are. IMO, the NCAA has slammed the door on all NAIA programs for a reason. The NAIA is older than the NCAA, and it has a place in college athletics.
Why Urbana? Why even give them a second shot. They got what they wanted. I would say the same for NDC, but I have a different feeling about them.
It was stated by the G-MAC from the beginning that if any school sought admission into the G-MAC from the GLVC, that would have to be worked out directly by the two Commissioners.
In fact, IMO, everything in D2 goes through the offices in Indianapolis, including the NCAA office. The NCAA probably dictates most D2 conference moves. Maybe, they will open the door again for new transitioning programs from the NAIA, but not until the NAIA is restructured itself.
Bellarmine may very well go D1. I doubt they will. USI definitely needs to go D1.
