If the Summit loses 1 or 2, they need to go after Bellarmine and USI asap. They're both ready to move up.

Lindenwood would need a home for football to move to the Summit from D-II but they're also ready.

Curious what your criteria is for Lindenwood being "ready". I would think they'd want to have some conference championships before they'd want to make a move up.

How many conference titles did Cal Baptist have in the Big 2 which they don't have football so big 1. conf. titles don't even matter or GVSU and NW Mo. St. would have been D-I years ago. It's the schools w/ big dreams that can afford to do it, that do it. Belmont, Birmingham-So. and Lipscomb had big dreams and did the no longer legal double jump. TAMU-CC went from nothing to D-I. FGCU went from not a school to D-II to D-I before even getting their feet wet.

It's probably all a moot point for the schools w/ football that won't drop it like Omaha to move to the WAC or SL. The SL would have to start football and force their MVFC members to play SL football. Then there'd be 4 spots or so in each for members w/ football.

So let me ask you who now in the NAIA has big dreams that you see going to D-II soon?
