GVSU won its 17th Director's Cup. They remain only one of two programs to win D2 Director's Cups that remain in D2. https://nacda.com/documents/2025/...

No need to wait if there was a slam dunk candidate like Shepherd available. But the PSAC certainly should have done more due diligence when it came to...

It has been just 14 months since Mercyhurst announced they were leaving. If you think that's enough time to commit to making a risky decision, for the...

The internal hire is DC Kevin May... isn't that the guy whose brilliant defense was taking Division 2 by storm?...

[EastStroud13]

I think rushing into any add simply to have an even number of schools is an error in judgment, no matter who that school is. There is huge risk in adding...

[EastStroud13]

That's the problem. The conference apparently believes that they are. It's a serious error in judgment....

[EastStroud13]

This has been talked about for decades. It does finally seem to be making progress but I still won't believe it until I see it....

The news we've all been waiting for. The PSAC officially adds new members: https://psacsports.org/news/2025/6/4...-of-chestnut-h...

Realistically these things take months to materialize,...

[EastStroud13]

This is good information, thank you. To me, this sounds like the best-case scenario is they join the PSAC, they succeed, and then their ambitions take...

Keystone has been in D3 for over two decades now. They've barely made a dent in the PA D3 landscape. If they are the upside case for Lackawanna.... YIKES....

[EastStroud13]

While I don't disagree, I don't like the fact that we rushed into adding an 18th. We could have waited 3-5 years to make the addition, and we would have...

It would have been better to stay at 17. The obsession to get to 18 is incredibly short-sighted.




I would assume Lock...

[EastStroud13]

That would be a funny full-circle moment. UIndy was previously Indiana Central University....

[EastStroud13]

Yep. Don't like it. Sounds like we are adding a body just to get back to 18. Very high chance we regret this if it comes to pass.

[EastStroud13]

To be fair to the West, they got a lot better when they ditched Mercyhurst. 😏

The MAC never takes FCS teams, let alone D2 teams. If GVSU thinks they can jump straight from D2 to the MAC, they are delusional....
