In many conferences, it's automatic, really -- once the conference has enough members that sponsor a sport, it's a conference sport. That number of members could vary from conference to conference but the mechanism is usually pretty standard.

I had a brief exchange with Steve Ulrich, the man behind d3playbook.com (an excellent daily summary of all things D3 sports, www.D3playbook.com if you're not familiar with it) who said the commish may have something to say in the very near future.

The title to McMurry's article on its athletic's webpage (emphasis is mine):

MCMURRY UNIVERSITY UNIFIES INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS JOINING SOUTHERN COLLEGIATE ATHLETIC CONFERENCE IN FALL 2024

Seems the cat is out of the bag.

Man, if I actually had the skills needed for this new position (Associate AD - Athletics Multimedia) I might apply and (if hired, LOL) retire from the grind today.   But on the very slim chance someone here knows someone who might have them and be in the market:   https://www.trinity.edu/human-resources/employment-opportunities/staff/41456

An observation only.  Lyon has a 9-game schedule, with an open date on Oct 17th.  Trinity's bye week is the same.  Should the worst come to pass for BSC this fall, Lyon might be a fallback option to get to 10 games.

Wow. Those three trips to Michigan and New York can't be cheap.

With the obscenely difficult non-conference schedule almost certainly substantially boosting SOS it's hard to believe that a game against what will likely be a bottom-feeding Lyon (1-9 last year with some of the losses coming *before* the move to D3 was announced) would help in any way.  Can't see Lyon wanting to take another nearly 700-mile trip and Trinity's gotta be shooting the travel budget as it is going to Collegeville on top of their SAA travel.   Edit:  I guess it would be cheaper to go to Arkansas than to Birmingham.
