Renfro is not on the roster as of right now, hope hes alright, the article makes it look like he'll be out indefinitely.

Does anyone know anything about Westgate Christian University?
I've seen them on a few ASC schools schedules but could find very little on them at all.

Quote from: Ron Boerger on May 06, 2024, 03:39:26 PMYeah, I'd agree with TLU02SA.  Whereas Southwestern has let most of their programs go (exceptions, women's soccer and tennis, but perhaps one person named Mary Cardone had something to do with that as both have retreated after her graduation), TLU has been consistently competitive in a number of sports besides their national championship-winning softball program.

SW's football program is a total disaster.  TLU will be competitive once the SCAC gets their schiesse together. 

I hope TLU football has some great years ahead.
I wonder how long SW will let the current HC be at the wheel with how bad they have been.

Quote from: Ron Boerger on May 06, 2024, 10:41:00 AMIt's at least partly the conference doing the "see no evil, hear no evil, say no evil" approach while it bled teams.  The last school to join was Belhaven, nearly ten years ago.  Before that, if you exclude McMurry's return after dallying with D2, it was Centenary who joined in '11 and turned around and left the very next year. 

The ASC lost a few schools in the early-mid teens, but the exodus snowballed during and immediately after the pandemic. 

I like the comment about growth, but whom would the ASC have wanted to join the ASC after the departure of TLU and Schreiner?

I don't think that "football domination" is the real reason. I think that it is a "mission/vision" issue that no one has mentioned.

I agree with this, TLU & Southwestern (now in the SAA)  don't care how competitive or not competitive their programs are, they are happy to just have programs.

There are a couple of guys on the D2 message board who (without naming names) have implied that there may (or may not be) 2 current D3 schools that are considering making a jump to D2, could TLU be one of those?

Off topic from the playoffs, but does anyone know if SRSU is going to move up to D2 or not?
I heard they voted on it last month but haven't heard anything since.

I could see them taking interest in a few ASC schools. Since 2016 the LSC has lost 3 programs, OPSU, Tarleton and Commerce. So they are in need of some new members.

Does anyone know if HSUs QB is coming back next year? Not sure with all the extra years COVID gave everyone.
Also, has anyone heard the rumor that Sul Ross got the invite to D2s Lone Star Conference?
