OK, so, school, yes. Not schools.

Even if true at more than one of the 60 or so, it's not typically widespread and I'd hardly expect Mount Union to do anything the same way that Thiel did.

The Flag Football team can have Dartt! I mean he is already at the Kids Table so why not move down the coaching tree as well?

I'm confident this topic has been discussed for years in this website so I hate to bring it up again.

With NDSU moving up to FBS, My understanding is that mount union didn't move up their football program to D2 because it would have involved all their sports moving up to d2, and Mount Union didn't want to offer athletic scholarships.

Is there anything else I'm missing?

isn't Mount dead according to you? take your goofy rage bait stuff elsewhere

Hey this one thing that doesn't apply whatsoever to the topic I am going to discuss, but I will lead with it so I have an excuse to discuss it.


"Is there anything else you are missing?" Oh boy, is there ever.

So besides the basic logistical issues of moving within a subdivision to moving entirely to a new division another huge difference here is that there's no financial incentive for Mount Union to go to D2.

With the current economics of D1 football there's plenty of reason for a school like NDSU to move up to FBS because of TV money. There's not a similar incentive for a D3 school to move up to D2. I don't think D2 football even gets materially more media coverage than D3 does.

Rick Hairston is going to be the first Women's flag football coach at Mount.  The HOF MUC alum is a former great Timken and McK basketball coach, and I thought currently at GlenOak?  He's a pretty top notch coach with lots of ties to the local Stark County high schools.  Not a bad selection
