What a defeatist attitude. "We can't beat this one school, they're too good, so we gotta go beat up on these other schools so they can think WE are the Grand Valley of the conference instead" lolololLast edited by KleShreen; 05-10-2021, 09:57 AM.

Originally posted by Uindy18 View PostI wanted to bring this aspect of the Northwood leaving discussion up in a separate port. If the GLIAC were to act quickly and add the any of the (or all) or the 4 Michigan NAIA football schools (Madonna, Lawrence Tech, Siena Heights, and Concordia-Ann Arbor), would there be any chance Northwood pulls out of their exit plan?
Lawrence Tech is nowhere right now athletically.
Siena Heights doesn't have the funding to join D2.
CUAA merged with CU-Wisconsin (DIII) a few years ago. CU campuses have had trouble financially lately, I don't see them moving this campus to D2. If anything, I think its more likely they go the otherway.

Ya, I was not sure on Saginaw or Wayne State. I feel like both of them are the borderline between FSU/GV and the rest of the conference.

I feel like GVSU and FSU have the budgets to still be able to fill their schedules with longer trips out to RMAC/LSC/GSC schools etc. I really feel that it will be Davenport, Saginaw, Wayne State, MTU, NMU who will face to more significant scheduling problems and probably starting scheduling the NAIAs more.

It won't happen but the ultimate strongest move, IMO, would be to merge GLIAC and GMAC into a super conference with North and South divisions. With crossover games and 1-2 OOC, the possibility of failing to qualify for the PO would be eliminated. Since football is really the only sport facing the problem of not qualifying, it possibly could be one sport conference. Crazy but really a better option than trying to fill the schedules of GVSU and FSU with NAIA
