Yea I looked that up. You are correct. Really surprised they would allow you to leave the military after two years, but they do. I am sure it is pretty...

[Bballfan]

Not only that, they could beat a number of the so called "D1" FCS schools. There are a lot of bad football teams out there at all levels....

[Bballfan]

I can't help but believe if they were not a HBC they would have been defunct a long time ago. But they have been around for 150+ years so I get it. ...

[Bballfan]

The benefit of the Academies (and Ivy League schools) are you going there for a great education and the prestige that goes along with it. Pretty much...

[Bballfan]

They do. But not the Academies. And obviously you are not transferring out of the military. I suppose you could get a hardship discharge or something...

[Bballfan]

Something else won't change. You won't be transferring out of the Academies or receive any NIL playing at those schools!

[Bballfan]

Ashland's schedule is ridiculous. Might as well remove two of those games, replace with a cupcake and take on Ferris. Better than Ferris playing Rio...

[Bballfan]

Doubtful.

Hillsdale isn't going undefeated.

Ashland definitely isn't going 10 - 1. Their schedule is brutal and if they go...

[Bballfan]

Yes St. Francis! My bad. At least the school knows their limitations. Some other NEC schools could learn a thing or two from them!

I would...

[Bballfan]

Good info D2Rover! I agree that GVSU will be the favorite again, although I expect Ferris State and Northern Michigan to be better than last year and...

[Bballfan]

Then you have Saint Joseph PA. They qualified for the NCAA tournament as one of the 68 teams. Then the school proceeded to drop from D1 to D3.
...

[Bballfan]

Except if they are very good they probably just transfer. You don't see that as much on the women's side yet, but you definitely see it on the men's...

[Bballfan]

I find it hard to believe bottom feeder D1 programs can offer that much to women's basketball players. I know some decent D1 schools (not Power 4 obviously)...

[Bballfan]

There's Ferris, then Grand Valley, then nothing really matters. Don't need coaches to predict that!

[Bballfan]

Don't blame them either. But if they want to play for a mediocre D1 program that has no chance of competing at the highest level more power to them....

[Bballfan]

Don't disagree. And things worked out well for her. As for Drury....they really haven't been the same since she left. But that's not all on her. The coach...

[Bballfan]

Of course if she stayed at Drury they most likely would have been National Champions. But hey, I guess leaving Drury was more important to her than that....

[Bballfan]

Yes. A very good selection of teams. Union is always good. Ferris and Northern are expected to be strong this season. Minnesota State another great...

[Bballfan]

I get that. But leaving the MAC for the Horizon League in other sports I think was a step down. While the Horizon League isn't one of the D1 bottom...

[Bballfan]

Yep. Gannon says they are going to do that with Ursuline. I don't believe that for one minute. Gannon will poach what they need out of the Ursuline...
