No -- I think we're not likely to, either.

That pretty much forces them to look to DII. I just don't see being independent in all sports as a long term solution.

I suspect the NAIA is a more likely destination than NCAA Division II.

A quick look at NAIA conferences on Wekipedia showed no obvious fits.

The best geographic NAIA plan I saw could be to join the Mid States Football Association and the River States Conference (which does not sponsor football) for other sports. TMC was a member of the RSC from 1955-1991 when it was known as the Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference before moving to DIII.

The RSC only offers 7 sports for Men and 8 for women. That would leave sports like wrestling and the newly announced swiming & diving programs without a conference affiliation unless they could become associate members of some other conference.

Clearly TMC has a challenge ahead of them.

There are 6 football playing members of the Mid-South Conference in the state of Kentucky.  If they go NAIA, it would be a good geographic fit.

I think they stay in the NCAA

Anyone know the last football playing school to go from DIII to NAIA? It's been more the other direction the last 10 years so far as I remember.

Pat Coleman

Menlo. Then dropped the sport. But you're right -- most of the direction has been the other way.

SaintsFan,

After visiing the Mid South web site (vs just Wikepedia) I can see how TMC would fit in. They would be the 8th football playing school in the Bluegrass Division. Another positive is that they sponsor a broad range of spoets. The only one that appeared to be missing is Lacrosse.

How do you think TMC will handle travel logistics - eg Montgomery, AL one week, Canton, NY the next.

The only thing that is missing is a trip to the West Coast the next week.

I think as Pat pointed out, the St. John's game is probably a guarantee and will help support the travel for 2018.

I'm not sure how everything will work with the kids and having to be in class.  The team has bused to Huntingdon and Alfred in the past.

Just got non-conference schedule details for W&J for the next five years:

W&J will open 2018 AT St. John Fisher, 2nd year of this current home & home.

The Presidents will then play home & home with Wittenberg (2019-2020) and John Carroll (2021-2022).
All are early September games.
Been wrong before.  Will be wrong again.

Still a chance for 2023 with W&L but I never did get a response.
