    Almost moot. Today is a completely different world in NCAA athletics.
    Actually closer to 30 years ago than 40, but your point is well take.

    Can you imagine a school voluntarily leaving the Missouri Valley Conference to join Division 2? It was just as unbelievable then as it would be now.

      Good luck with that.

              The RMAC is looking better and better for WT each year .. All we need to do is recruit all the wrestlers in the panhandle and we are set ! LOL

                The paper reported WT considering that exact move when the LSC was near imploding. Not sure how much of that was factual or not.

                  It would be a great move for the RMAC crossing into Texas ! Black Hills Away game would be the only trip thats longer than kingsville.

                          Now, as far as D1 goes there may be an opportunity in the very near future. WAC is on the verge of collapsing. Chicago State is all but history, UMKC is losing so much money that they are exploring dropping to D2, and CSU Bakersfield has jumped ship. No D1 school in their right mind would join this conference. The WAC is seriously considering FCS to keep their conference alive and D2 call ups will be the only way I see that it can happen. It would be like the MVFC.
                          Is there legs this time to WAC collapsing or dropping to FCS? It's been talked about & rumored ever since they lost their big names to the MWC. Has anything been written about it recently? I can't even name 3 other members off the top, other than the ones above.

                            The WAC is currently at nine.

                            Cal-Baptist joins this year from D2

                            CSU-Bakersfield will be leaving for the Big West in 2020

                            Chicago State still seems to be breathing

                            Grand Canyon is doing very well

                            UMKC is still D1 for now

                            New Mexico State still hopes for an invite from an FBS conference

                            Seattle still hopes to go to the WCC

                            UTRGV is the only D1 school that I don't have a cap from........yet. Oops- I need a Cal Baptist one now too.

                            Utah Valley is a school that I know very little about

                              Sounds like the island of misfit toys to me. A conference stretching from the upper midwest to the Mexico border, to CA, to the northwest, sounds like a conference in a state of perennial jeopardy.

                                UMKC would go to the Summit if they would take them back. Travel is killing them. Or they could drop to D2.

                                I haven't heard much about Chicago State lately but no one in Illinois wants to face the fact that they should merge them with another school like Governors State University.
