    On the women's side totally different. St Thomas is in there most years.

              They could explore joining the WIAC if they want to remain in DIII.

              Being a DIII independent in many sports is hard because it is tough to create a schedule.

              They could move to DII, which requires they find a conference and it takes a three year transition period (actually the article missed the fact that it could take another year if the fail any of the stages in the transition program, which is not uncommon).

              Moving to DI requires being a full time member of DII for 5 years, plus a 4 year transition period and an invitation to join a conference.

              Mostly it just quoted the NCAA transition rules.

                To be honest, it WAS the “cliff notes” version of St. Thomas’s options within current NCAA rules, which is a valuable form of journalism. I read it, and I thought it was well done!

                  The WIAC would be a great fit for St. Thomas, particularly in football and hockey.

                  As a side note, I’ve always been curious why College of St Scholastica doesn’t seek membership in the MIAC. CSS moving to the MIAC would certainly help tidy up travel for the rest of the NCHA (and themselves.)

                      In what way?

                      Academically, schools like St Olaf, Gustavus Adolphus and Carleton blow the doors off CSS. Athletically, I can’t think of one sport where CSS would be clearly stronger than the rest of the MIAC.

                        Joe loves his puns, and was likely referring to the fact that the city of Duluth is next to Superior, WI. I interpreted Joe’s post to mean that CSS wouldn’t want to join the MIAC because they more identify with the Wisconsin side of the border.

                          Yeah, CSS is in Duluth which is the furthest west inland port on Lake Superior. I get that.

                          But I’ve also always wondered why they haven’t seeked membership in the MIAC.

                          Way, way back Minnesota-Duluth was in the MIAC.

                            We take ourselves way too seriously here and need levity to defuse tensions. Sometimes the puns go over like a lead balloon, they miss the mark completely, or they get the expected guffaw.

                                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.
