Re: Augie d1 thread
I think we need to do a poll- "Should Augie go D1?"
I keep hearing that it is not if, but when. I also hear from most Augie fans that I know that they don't want to go.
I suppose that big money talks. We do know that big money talks big..........

I would think that some players would drop to other d2 schools, but I think there would be a majority of players that would stay for the D1 prestige, school atmosphere, and city experience. Also if Augie was a contender for the PFL title and a playoff spot every year (Which i think they could become) would that be good enough for the fanbase?

Lots of people talk about AU going D1, except Augie. I listened to an interview of Stephania Herseth and she stated raising enrollment to around 3000 before considering D1. Augustana is an University with athletics, not the other way around.
For over 80 years Augustana was a bottom feeder in the NCC, why would they want to go back to that. Like purple mav said about MSU, AU is enjoying their D2 success.
