Quote from: Gregory Sager on October 24, 2024, 10:06:08 AMBesides, "easy win" and "mid-level performer" are two completely different things in CCIW football.

I guess I could have clarified more, but no, they aren't necessarily two different things. WashU could be an easy win for the big dawgs like NCC, and sometimes Wheaton, but also could be a mid-level performer like Illinois Wesleyan, Carroll, and Augustana in recent years.
As someone who is relatively new to the forum and brand new to posting in it, I don't appreciate your condescending tone about why I think the CCIW bottom feeders are voting them out and your withholding of information that you may think you know.

"Why else would the CCIW want to push Wash U out?"

CCIW teams in the lower echelon (not named Wheaton or NCC) probably got tired of driving down to St. Louis to get beat and wanted a shot at the Culver's Bowl, which will now be wide open with Augustana's recent struggles. They accepted WashU into the conference thinking they would be an easy win, mid-level performer, but were surprised when WashU has finished 3rd place every year but one. Sounds like sore losers to me wanting to get rid of one of the only playoff competitors in the conference.
