NPU win with a typical 3pt last second shot in triple OT.

NPU and IWU in the CCIW final.

Does NIL allowed to cover tuition?  Essentially a full ride scholarship under the old days?

Does Millikin offer an athletics viewing option via streaming devices like roku?

Nice goal scored up in whitewater:

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

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?

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 News:  https://athletics.northpark.edu/news/2025/7/24/football-announces-2025-newcomers.aspx

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

Quote from: tomt4525 on July 08, 2025, 02:07:35 PMFormer Carthage Big Man, Julian Campbell, is transferring to North Park.

Decent pick up, I guess

Quote from: markerickson on June 28, 2025, 11:33:00 PMI wonder to what extent international students will opt against playing in the US, whether immigration's analysis of social activity and/or media posts will influence ability to study and compete in America, or if the landscape remains the same.

Hard to say for sure - but I'd be surprised to think there will be any issues.  The women's team already has 3 Scandinavian commitments announced and the women's team doesn't attract as many players by number compared to the men.

My gut tells me Scandinavian students, nor North Park are on this administration's radar.
