Just filing this here for future reference.  It's a longish piece I did on the program building efforts at Bryn Athyn and Wilson, with coach interviews.

So teams leaving conferences to join already established conferences are eligible for Pool C selection but not the conference's Pool A since they just joined? I know Superior heads to the UMAC next year.

They should be eligible for Pool A right away. I don't know why the conference would exclude them. There's no provisional period for switching conferences.

Right. The SCIAC made Chapman ineligible for the conference title when the Panthers first joined the conference, but that's not an NCAA rule.

Thanks. I didn't think there was. Superior must be licking their chops. Everyone in the UMAC is under .500, with Bethany Lutheran,  Crown and Martin Luther a combined 2-33.

It's a been a while since we've had conference shuffling news, but Merchant Marine is headed back to the port they left. The Mariners are going back to the Skyline in 2016-2017.

That's cool Gordon, "the port they left".  There's also, the grass isn't always greener, or in this case, the water's not always more blue.  Sorry, couldn't resist.

Makes perfect sense.

Was the NEWMAC adding football a consideration in this decision?

Does that leave the LL with 7 football playing members and a late season open date?


More shuffling from Pool B to a Pool A conference...
QuoteSt. Joseph's (Bklyn.) will join the Skyline beginning in 2015-16.

The NEWMAC football news left the LL with five members, actually.

What they need to do is join the South Eastern Association. They belong in the SEA, not the LAND or SKY.
