private schools easily recruit good athletes due to the perceived value of a degree from said school.

Interesting. Private schools are at a huge recruiting disadvantage in D2 where all but a handful of players receive partial scholarships. With tuition at private schools running double or triple that of public universities, players at private schools have to come up with a lot more money to cover the gap between what their scholarship pays and the cost of attendance.

Also I take it these are probably private schools?

Now that UT Tyler has moved up, only two of the D2 schools in Texas are public: Sul Ross State, which has football, and UT Dallas, which doesn't.

Its no secret....3 schools are looking to add football in LSC from what I am told. With a 4th considering moving up to DII. Wasn't told which schools yet.

BUT, it is very early in the process. Never know what is going to happen.

I heard St Mary's had a big donor step up, much like UIW did. The info came at a luncheon at UD from an individual with the Dallas Diocese.

If true i will be very pleased.

I know when Wayland restarted their football program it was with the intention of wanting to move up to D2 eventually.

11 schools would be great, 1 ooc game a piece would be great, although i would rather we go to a system where we can get at least 3 per year like the old days of north south except this time i recon it would be more east west.

I too enjoyed the two divisions.

However, gotta be careful it doesn't become too tough of a conference.
