Lindenwood just announced they were cutting 11 programs. DangComment

After they just went D1 lol. Yet another prime example of why it is a terrible idea.Originally posted by canadarican View Post2021 D2Football Fantasy ChampionComment

I made a comment on another forum almost three years ago that they had 27 teams (most in D2 at the time) and would have difficulty financing all those teams in D1. Three teams have been added since. Here they are just 18 months into their D1 reclassification and they slash 1/3rd of their NCAA teams. Also saw that of the 9 NCAA programs cut, 6 are men's teams.Originally posted by canadarican View PostComment

Chicago State, the last D1 independent, is joining the NEC. Now will they start football?

I feel like there's no way they would. They've been struggling financially for over a decade now. But who knows.Originally posted by laker View Post2021 D2Football Fantasy ChampionComment

Cheap teams, too. Men's indoor and outdoor track? That NCAA tourney money must not be as good as it sounds.Originally posted by Tech Boys View Post

Has this school been good in anything since they went D1? Now they have to make a bunch of trips to the Northeast every year to face teams in a conference whose members seem to be changing every month? Can’t imagine that helps with the athletics budget.Originally posted by laker View Post
They should drop to D2 and try to join the GLIAC or GLVC. Or maybe even drop to D3, I don’t know.
NEC must be super desperate to let them in too.Comment

It seems as though Chicago State can barely support their existing athletic programs; I can't see how they would even entertain the idea of fielding a football team (Chicago already has enough bad football with Da Bears), not to mention finding a suitable location to play. For context: Roosevelt, which will be joining the GLIAC next season, plays their "home" football games in Arlington Heights. This would be the equivalent (hypothetically, of course) of Wayne State (Mich.) playing off-campus home games in Sterling Heights or somewhere in Macomb County.Originally posted by laker View PostCal U (Pa.)

I read on Twitter that they are going to explore the possibility and even engage in some fundraising activities. Source is usually pretty reliable.Originally posted by laker View PostComment

The fiasco that they had at the online meeting when they dropped baseball was epic. I thought that there would be fights like on Jerry Springer.Originally posted by KleShreen View PostComment

The NEC was on the verge of losing their autobid from becoming too small so yeah I think they were pretty desperate.Originally posted by cwfenn View PostComment

I think it was already mentioned on here that UC Merced is finally making the leap to D2 after years of speculation over it. Maybe of a little more interest to this place though is that on the Instagram post they made announcing the move, someone commented asking if there were updates on starting a possible football team there, to which the Merced instagram account replied "baby steps🤞". I almost hate to bring false hope to any ex-GNAC members on here, but could we see another D2 football squad on the West Coast sometime soon?
