That would be my guess.

Everybody and their dog knows a non-conference schedule is what's best. It takes a task force for that? The question is how to accomplish that. I only see one with the current makeup of 12 football schools...split the conference into divisions.

Re: MIAA Football Task Force

I heard mention of going to divisions a little while back with the proposed divisions of the MO and NE schools and the KS and OK schools.

Be interested to see what happens as there are multiple variations as to what a new schedule could look like (e.g. number of conference games, permanent crossover/rival game, conference championship game).

There are currently only 11 football schools. Hopefully the travesty of having Lincoln in the conference for football only lasts one year. In my opinion, that is the first thing this task force needs to fix.

Could Lincoln do NAIA for football only?

Re: MIAA Football Task Force

Lincoln in the conference for good at this point. Don't see MIAA kicking them out just because their football sucks. Lincoln is gonna have to leave voluntarily, IMO.

No. They would have to have to be all NCAA or all NAIA.

Keep Lincoln and everybody schedules them for Homecoming and a big party. Split the conference into divisions North-South so you create a Missouri/Kansas/Oklahoma and Missouri/Kansas/Nebraska split to keep some rivalries alive.

Honestly, I would rather Pitt play Lincoln at their place every year to give Pitt fans a game worth seeing at home instead.

Re: MIAA Football Task Force

I have come around to the idea of a split conference, though.

If the MIAA wants to consider non-conference scheduling, I don't see another possibility. Maybe I'm wrong...
