    When that time comes it will no longer be the case. Right now, however, it is.

      Lake Superior State in the GLIAC doesn't have football.

        Newman will be an associate member for FOURTEEN sports out of the twenty that the MIAA sponsors! Full member Northeastern State only sponsors TEN MIAA sports. Time to accept facts, Newman will be a full member. Saying otherwise is just semantics.

            Can someone tell that to HSU with the way they seem to be going like the owner tanking in the first Major League movie? WWU and UNO also come to mind as schools to tell it to too.

              I am pretty sure that Texas Women's Univ in Denton, Tx (LSC member) is not required to play football. Maybe Women's powder puff intramural football is optional for some of the female athletes.

                Thats my fear with the heartland LSC merger. With Tarleton looking for their ticket up, it would leave the LSC with 8 football playing schools in a conference with 19 memberd, 11 who do not field a FB team. Its a recipie for disaster if you ask me.

                  That's I think why the scheduling alliance is being discussed with the GNAC who after this season will have 11 members, 3 football playing and 1 affiliate football school in APU. That is 8 of 11 schools in the GNAC without football.

                    The SAC has 8 schools with football programs (including Limestone as a football only member) 4 schools without football programs. The SAC also has a scheduling alliance with UNC Pembroke, and will add Virginia Wise as a member next year.

                    Fortunately, the SAC's football scholarship cap of 25 was recently lifted. However, unfortunately a required scholarship minimum has not been put in place yet.
