Alverno had cancelled their soccer and basketball seasons this year, and are scheduled to restart in 2026. Those games against CNU are going to be hard to watch.

I'm disappointed about this, as the C2C has a nice core (6 of 7 members) in Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina now. What's next, are they finally going to get Trinity Washington and Maranatha Baptist to join?

With Delhi and Cobleskill going to the SUNYAC, these additions tighten the footprint nicely for the NAC. Shorter bus rides, less missed time from classes.

Fort Kent appears even more remote than Presque Isle  :o

Great Day to be a Royal
