I see that Finlandia is playing a complete home and away UMAC schedule in 2016-17.... would seem to point to joining the conference, but haven't seen any notice...

Thanks Greek   +1... Very interesting reasoning behind the schedule, but not a league member....
A veritable travel partner for UW-Superior.

Finlandia is going to be partnered with Northland College in Ashland, WI. UW-Superior will be partnered with Northland's old travel partner St. Scholastica.

Thanks husker. +1!

Yeah, Duluth/Superior.

Ashland Wi TO Hancock MI 148 miles, 2 hours 30 to 45 mins, and none of it interstate?

That travel partner is harder than Howard Payne (Brownwood TX) and Sul Ross State (Alpine TX) 337 miles, roughly 5 hours.

That's two hours and 30-45 minutes if the roads are good. On the shores of Lake Superior in November, December, January, and February, favorable road conditions are certainly not a given.

So if you're adding Finlandia to the complete UMAC schedule, why not just make them affiliate members in basketball?

The first and still most accurate description of the D3 Championship BeltTM thread.

I can't think of too many instances where someone has basically played the conference schedule but didn't get credit for it, except in cases where the school was in the transition process (i.e. Chapman in the SCIAC a couple years ago when they were ineligible for the AQ, provisional NCAA members who aren't eligible for the postseason).

Maybe this is a precursor to making them a conference member but they are taking it really slowly for some reason?  Maybe it's easier to let them do a test run before adding them?

Finlandia Women's basketball is a member of the Great South Althletic Conference despite being nearly as far north in the United States as one could be. And despite not playing any conference members in the regular season.



It does seem like Finlandia would like to be part of the UMAC but the UMAC only wants to use them while it's convenient.
