Quote from: markerickson on Yesterday at 11:52:14 PMTragic news at Wheaton.  Sandy, a friend of Greg and I, lost an uncle due to riptide at "Pilgrim Pines," which is about one mile south of Warren Dunes in MI.

I am surprised by NPU's financial health rank.  Plus, NPU must spend money now on retrofitting the old and/or building new ones.

Terrible news.

Mark, I think you might mean Bethany Beach?  Pilgrim Pines is a covenant camp in New Hampshire.

NPU and IWU in the CCIW final.

Does NIL allowed to cover tuition?  Essentially a full ride scholarship under the old days?
#6
Does Millikin offer an athletics viewing option via streaming devices like roku?

Quote from: Gregory Sager on August 26, 2025, 12:42:40 PMThe CCIW Network has been launched:

https://cciw.org/news/2025/8/26/general-cciw-partners-with-hudl-to-launch-cciw-network.aspx

This is an important read, regardless of whether you just follow a specific CCIW team, or you're a fan of CCIW sports in general.

I like the fact that the service is free.  I downloaded the HUDL app on my roku, but I don't see CCIW games available for streaming - at least yet.

Will this be an option?

Quote from: Gregory Sager on August 26, 2025, 12:40:41 PMTyler's got two kids sick at home with strep throat. We've gotta extend him some grace!

sorry to hear that!  I hope everyone's health turns around quickly.

Quote from: Gregory Sager on August 18, 2025, 08:20:41 PMNorth Park's 2025-26 roster is going to go up on the NPU website shortly. There will be 32 players listed: 5 seniors, 8 juniors, 6 sophomores, and 13 freshmen. No doubt many of the freshmen will be listed separately as JV players.

It's the largest roster I can ever remember seeing for the Park. Sorting out all of these guys, most of whom are newcomers, is going to be interesting. Looking forward to seeing some open gyms before practice starts.

Was the roster posting paused?

Quote from: Gregory Sager on August 18, 2025, 07:58:40 PMNorth Park's Ben Butler made third team. I was a little surprised that Jereme Ombogo did not get listed.

Wide receiver was one of the few places where we have a stacked depth chart of returners from last year. We knew he was returning, but we had six guys ahead of him.

I don't know if the QB position is settled at NP and that could affect Jereme's production, which he can't necessarily control.

Quote from: GusD on August 03, 2025, 11:33:44 PMWell, unfortunately, many of us had other things going on June 29th so we missed it, and I hadn't seen anything posted here so I thought it was worth mentioning.

Also, in the interest of accuracy, give me a T. One T only please. As in Garret Wilson. 😉

On the podcast the guys mention he is a transfer from Oklahoma State.

The NPU roster is posted:  https://athletics.northpark.edu/sports/mens-soccer/roster?view=2

One interesting note is the return of Emil Svenander.  He wasn't on the roster last year, after having played the year before.  He's the forward that had transferred from Wingate University.

NPU is starting to announce commitments daily, at least on their Instagram page.
