I will beat the Lake Erie drum again. I think they will finish higher than that 8th place spot, maybe even up to the 4, 5 or 6 area. Returning good number...

Ya, enrollment numbers can be tricky, especially in the world of online students. Urbana is probably a good example with a few hundred on campus, and...

[Uindy18]

I would say the adding an FCS is not impossible, but unlikely. The first school that comes to mind that the GSC could easily consider is Trevecca Nazarene...

[Uindy18]

My point exactly. If the conference needs more schools, where else are you going to get them from? The MIAA is a really solid DIII conference in Michigan...

[Uindy18]

I do not think it is quite so doom and gloom. GVSU and Ferris will probably leave sooner or later. I just think their hang-up is mostly in not having...

[Uindy18]

And Purdue-Northwest is just across the border in Indiana. Chicago area is really a DII dead zone, and would be prime real estate for the GLIAC to stabilize...

[Uindy18]

Agreed. The standing NAIA candidates are basically any of the Chicagoland football schools (Judson, Saint Xavier, Olivet Nazarene, Saint Francis [IL],...

[Uindy18]

Honestly, this is a positive move for the GLIAC, and I think there will be more to come. If they can lock down some more private schools from the NAIA...

[Uindy18]

Fair point, it seems like they are really in an odd spot. Remind me a lot of Ohio Valley and Urbana, which certainly doesn't seem like a good sign. They...

[Uindy18]

Well was hoping to get the localish WV scoop from someone with a little more local perspective than what I can see from goggle searches...

[Uindy18]

I think you are undervaluing Lake Erie. I have heard good things about Coach Boldin, and I really think they may surprise some people. They have a very...

[Uindy18]

Hello all,

I am hoping that you all could help me with something. I am looking for some local input on Salem University, former WVIAC member...

[Uindy18]

Ya, TNU and KWC were critical for the conference early on as they jumped in when issues rose around Salem, Central State, Urbana, and Notre Dame. However,...

[Uindy18]

Good for them. I know they were not my favourite selection into the conference, but they seem to be turning things around after a rough few years around...

[Uindy18]

While the Trine facilities are great, Marian and Taylor are still solid. For example. here are theirs.

[Uindy18]

Trine would be a fine addition too, but I am still in the Marian/IWU/USF camp if the GMAC ends up going with further NAIA expansion. I am starting to...
