This was posted on the Moving Day thread, but I figured it belonged here as well. Jimmies men's volleyball has found a home

Average bus ride nearly 12 hours. No word on Men's Soccer though.

Men's volleyball is still a growing sport, so this is still the best case scenario for their program. Next closest sponsoring conferences would've been either the MIVA, which stretches into North Carolina, or the MPSF on the Pacific Coast.

Jimmies men's soccer is definitely independent, at least for this year. Their schedule released a week or two ago

Growing sport or not, that’s got to be awfully difficult to run the program even close to break even. That’s a lot of travel and very little revenue (other than of course the tuition from the bloated roster).

Although their recently completed schedule was all over the map too. And they went 7-20

Jamestown has yet to be added to the NSIC homepage header as well. I thought this was supposed to get cleared up this week?

Maybe the NCAA overlords did the dirty work for us and denied Jamestown *fingers crossed*

So, I usually follow the PSAC. But, I thought that Jamestown was already invited and accepted?

I know nothing about them. Were they any good in their last conference?

I’d offer you ~2400 posts (pretty much) on that topic.

TLDR: Jamestown is in as of July 1, 2025 and they weren’t good in their previous conference except for women’s volleyball. Basically finishing 7th annually in their all sport standings. And they have ALL sports.

Here’s to hoping 😬

I believe they were waiting on approval to move forward to year 2 of the transition from the D2 Membership committee

Yuck, that's just unfortunate

It's wild to me that Jamestown, despite being nothing more than a wide spot on a North Dakota highway, was the birthplace of both Darin Erstad and Travis Hafner. I didn't even know there was baseball in North Dakota... I just thought it was a cool military base in Minot surrounded by miles upon miles of existential dread... and wheat.

Congrats Jamestown, I guess. Joining the NSIC is definitely the most exciting thing to ever happen in a place like that.

Jamestown actually has a pretty nice ballpark in town. Has a short right field due to the river.

Jack Brown? That is a cool looking stadium.
