RE: D2 Schools As Candidates To Become D1
Where are you guys getting all of this information from? Is it just wishful thinking or is there substance? Bellarmine, Lindenwood, UNA and a whole host of D2 schools have been "rumored" or even fabricated by posters to be moving up to D1. Why would a lot of schools take a financial burden in increased budgets while at the same time take a program hit in recruiting of their revenue sport(s), by not being able to offer recruits NCAA tournament or bowl/playoff participation for 4 years? That's an entire college career with no chance of postseason! Not to mention said team would have to wait and hope for an invite from a prospective conference.

Posters have mentioned a program like Bellarmine to the Horizon League. Moving up to D1 and joining the HL would require an HL arena minimum of at least 5,000 capacity, which they don't have. That will probably add years or more before the move up in order to fund and then build or expand an arena.

If there is actual proof of programs moving up to D1, then by all means share, give us some UPDATES on the status of programs moving up. Until then all of this speculating is nothing more than pipe dreams, giving a sense of false hope and may never ever happen!
