      It's only partially about football. St. Thomas is dominant in EVERY sport. They have the deepest rosters in the conference in every sport, it's not a hard school to get into... It's not the same kind of school as Macalester or Carleton. Their enrollment is so far out of whack with the rest of the league, not sure how anyone can justify them being in MIAC.

        While acknowledging that it's not likely, this StarTribune sportswriter makes a good case why they should remain in the conference.

          The President of Augsburg claims there is consensus to remove St. Thomas.

              Congrats to Sophie on her new gig. The Cadets are in good hands.

                Congrats to her. When Bolding left for Yale, Leclerc's name stood out to me as the best choice of what I would call the logical (non-surprise) candidates.

                  Nobody else needed to waste their time in applying for this job. She was always the heir apparent. That was a no-brainer.

                    My understanding was that this was quite the process, and there were a number of great (and surprising) candidates to choose from. I agree that Sophie was one of the first names to come to mind when Bolding stepped away, but I believe this was no where near as simple as you think.

                      Right...Coach Steele was really their first choice.

                        Ouch! That's so mean. And I thought I had made some negative comments about her before. Wow! Lmao! Although it's no secret that every year her players don't have a lot of respect for her and her coaching ability.

                            The Star Tribune states that the announcement expected at the top of the hour is that St. Thomas is involuntarily leaving the MIAC by Spring 2021, with their destination still unknown.

                              Official statement from the MIAC that St. Thomas is being involuntarily removed from the conference as of the end of the Spring 2021 semester.

                              Statement from St. Thomas President Dr. Julie H. Sullivan. Sullivan announced that AD Phil Esten will lead the search for their new conference.

                              St. Thomas has published an FAQ on leaving the MIAC. Among the questions addresses, it says that "should the conference we join not offer a sport that we have currently, we will explore all options (e.g., affiliate memberships) in order for all our varsity sports to continue playing."

                                Sad day for St. Thomas Womens Hockey and the MIAC. 99 years of history in the MIAC and what do you get? Kicked out for your level of success. The school certainly has a larger enrollment than the rest of the conference, but we are not talking HS sports. Does having the larger enrollment change the quality of recruits because your campus has more students? I don't think so. Many of the teams have about the same number athletes and they generally don't walk-on out of the general student population. They are recruited and ultimately sold on the educational quality of the University. Each of the schools has the opportunity to recruit whomever they want. Punishing success is just lowering the bar of excellence.
