Looks like UNO has much bigger issues than athletic affiliation.  This possibility isn't raised in the story, but you have to wonder how long the state of Louisiana can continue to operate all of their colleges.  Not all that unusual for small private schools to go under, but can anyone think of fairly large state schools that have ceased to exist?  Here's the latest on the budget crunch and dropped academic programs:

Interesting comment by the Gulf South Conference's commissioner on wanting to lure UNO into that league, also wanting to get Mississippi College to return.

Ralph,
That's an old posting on the NAIA/VSN site.  Montreat announced that they would stay in the NAIA last fall.  Kind of a shame.  That would be a great fit in the Great South.
