    Well this is completely opposite of the CSU system. U-Cal system to be open in the fall.

    I missed this last week but I just saw that Owens CC in Toledo is suspending Fall and Winter sports with some hope for Spring 2021. I'm not super knowledgeable on them but I do know they are a pretty solid JUCO basketball program with a good record of moving players to NCAA DI and DII.

    While I wish them luck, a small school (@800 wiki) and a small town (@ 1300 wiki), I think it might be tough to pull in enough to support a program. Could it be a strategy to increase enrollment.

    When I started this thread I didn't think it would last near this long, but there's been a lot of bad news because of the coronavirus pandemic. I've lost track of all the sports programs that have been cut and seasons that have been cancelled. *On a positive note, Erskine College of Due West, South Carolina is supposed to begin playing football this coming fall after a 69 year hiatus. As far as I know they haven't changed their plans, so here's to Flying Fleet football (a D2 independent in 2020).

    I read that. The AD is hoping for the NCAA to give them a waiver. Must be hoping for sympathy from them- good luck with that.

    Once upon a time, the MAC was a force in track and XC. Now members are dropping it like a hot potato to save money.

    That place has been mismanaged for years. The last I read it had a graduation rate of 13%. It should be merged with Governors State.

    Actually they did. I was at this game in New Ulm. The women's game was cancelled because NCC didn't have enough players after a loss at Mankato Bethany. The Martin Luther men won pretty easily. I'll be brutally honest- I never played soccer except in phy ed, but I could have done better than half of their men's players when I was their age.

    Enrollment at 120 after they merged a few years ago, then down to 85 or so at present. It was mentioned they added intercollegiate athletics to stimulate enrollment, but what sports could such a small enrollment support?
    They had Men's basketball and soccer and Women's basketball and soccer. https://nccsentinels.com/
