Checked out their facilities (online). Their gym is smallish, but the football stadium looks nice. They just re-turfed it and redid the track as well. Baseball and softball fields are very basic. Everything is on campus - so that is a plus.
I still hold out hope that Georgetown and Cumberland give joining NCAA another try and that Indy will join. That would give a 16 men's sports conference that could go to North Division and South Division.with I-70 as dividing line. I don't know why Cumberland was refused DII status. At the time Georgetown was under watch by its accreditation board but is now on good terms. Rumors at the time were that GLVC and GLIAC black-balled them to keep GMAC from reaching auto bid status. I don't know if that's true but they were the only NAIA schools refused entry. If that's true there is no reason for the conferences to oppose them now.
South "Travel Partners" - ODU*/Cedarville, Thomas More*/Indy*, KWC*/Georgetown*, TNU/Cumberland*
North "Travel Partners" - Hillsdale*/Northwood, Findlay*/Tiffan*, Ashland*/Lake Erie*, Malone/Walsh*

This would be ideal. Adding Thomas More is encouraging because I think it points to more schools being added. Also. Northwood makes even more sense because I think we will actually get to the North/South Divisions.

BTW - TMU has some sports that the G-MAC is trying to build membership in: Wrestling, Men's and Women's Lacrosse, Men's and Women's Tennis, Men's and Women's Bowling.
With Ursuline we've been at an awkward number of women's teams since the beginning...it's just a different awkward number every year. Not that big of a deal.
