For better or worse, DIII Benedictine seems as if they will indeed move to D2 in the 2018-19 season...everything I hear has them filing the papers this Winter. As my son plays there, it will put us in the mode of trying to understand the pluses and minues...perhaps exploring other options. Oh well...we'll see.
Don't get too far ahead just yet... not positive this is going to happen. From what I am told, the Board of Trustees has not decided if they want to make the move. If they approve the idea, then there is paperwork to fill out and a decision by NCAA/DII on whether to accept them.
I know Benedictine has been looking, but there are no indications as of yet the move is going to happen - even seem to happen.
FYI - one has to have the paperwork complete by a deadline in early January for there to be any chance. So, the timing is there, but I am not sure this is a done deal right now. One vote goes the other direction and it stops cold.
I am not really rooting for it, but it is now an open discussion in the Athletic Department and through the various teams. All indications is that paperwork will be filed, but what happens after that is unknown. That said, I claim no insider info, and I respect your caution.
