Moving day to Fantasyland - someone has kept the old Alderson Broaddus University Battlers Facebook page alive (after the school closed) and they posted this MBB schedule. AB is playing some pretty tough competition. Go Battlers, beat the LA Lakers on New Year's Day! LOL

Gannon and Ursuline College are joining with an expected effective date of December 15. 2026. The institutions and athletics would remain separate under the Gannon University umbrella. There will be no name change for the Erie campus while the Pepper Pike campus will be known as Ursuline College Campus of Gannon University.

Looks like NIU will be joining the MW for football only on Tuesday.

Jokes aside I’m curious where NIU is going to park the rest of their sports. I can’t imagine the MAC being too keen on keeping them around. The Horizon and OVC make geographic sense but those are both small-timey leagues even compared to the MAC. I can’t see them getting invited to the American and C-USA, while comparable to the MAC, is broadly a southern conference anymore so I don’t know if that’s a realistic option either.

The Pac-12 still needs another football school too.

I'd say Horizon. They probably can't get into the MVC (Missouri Valley Conference for those confusing it with the MWC).

If I'm the MAC, I'd be pretty ticked off right now as a gaggle of idiots in DeKalb, Ill. have pretty much undermined what's left of college sports sanity (though, to be fair, adding Massachusetts-Amherst kinda nullifies any gripes the MAC might have over NIU's ridiculous stunt).Cal U (Pa.)

Also, if NIU were to place their other sports in the American or CUSA, that would kinda defeat the purpose of putting their football program in the MWC.Cal U (Pa.) Class of 2014

This might be the worst move out of all the college football conference moves which have happened in recent years. As brutal as the OU/Texas move from Big 12 to SEC was, at least that made some geographic sense compared to the addition of the West Coast members of the B1G which were once part of the PACifist 12.
