Semling gets letter of reprimand and team forfeits three practices to start the season. Still have to wait to see if the NCAA accepts the UWSP punishment as sufficient.

St Thomas has released their schedule, which includes a game at home against UWSP on December 14th.  That's an easy one for me to attend so I'm glad that is continuing.

That should be an interesting game. The Tommies lose basically everyone, but they always seem to reload, shown by their 11 (?) straight MIAC titles. Point is coming off a rough season, so they'll wanna bounce back as well.

Read that John Gleich posted on Twitter that former UWSP star Nick Bennett is the new coach at Racine St. Catherine's. Congrats and good luck!

Sorry to see him leave but wishing him the best of luck.  He's following a legend and that isn't easy.

On a side note  I hated officiating Coach Letsch's games.  For some reason it seemed we were always assigned the St Cat's/ St Joe's games.  Two huge rivals with a lot of animosity between them.  It was never a pleasant experience.  One time I had to physically separate my partner and Coach Letsch when Letsch confronted us after a game in which my partner had called a technical foul on a St Cat's player for profanity.  It was ugly.  But the guy is a legend.

Legends are usually great to play for but extremely hard to officiate!  Best of luck to Nick. He's a great guy!

So, I guess the NCAA isn't done with the Pointers yet...

Wonder if Loretta Lynch has a viewpoint on this ?

From what I know, this is standard practice even if the NCAA is going to accept the self-imposed penalties.
