That's because it's in Division 1 already, and therefore doesn't apply to this thread.


I don't think there's any way that Central State will be in Division I unless it merges with Wilberforce, and gets a whole lot more money. They are having so much financial trouble right now that any move in the forseeable future would be unrealistic. Not only that, but it's not like there isn't a cautionary tale in the same county about what happens when Division II success leads to Division I failure. In the 80's, Wright State made the national semifinals or finals in a few different sports multiple times, including winning a Division II men's basketball title in 1983, and being a baseball and soccer DII powerhouse. After moving up to Division I, they've made the NCAA men's basketball tournament twice in 29 years, the women's tournament once, and haven't moved beyond the first weekend in the baseball tournament. I think DavidSt doesn't realize that some schools would rather have successful DII programs that mediocre DI programs.
