Yes, terrific thread. I was surprised someone neg-repped it.

Very useful, although I think those without firm dates shouldn't be on the list. OK if they're on the possible expansion list.

Guess? He always does that all the time when I do these things.

North Star Athletic Association is disbanding.

So UMass and UConn stay as FBS indy's?

Villa Maria College (USCAA), Bryant & Stratton Wauwatosa (NJCAA) and College of Staten Island (D2) have all added women’s flag football.

None have conference affiliations that I am aware of.

Who?

Appreciate the clean-up!

Great thread, keep it up!

A quality effort from DavidSt.

I enjoyed perusing.

It will be interesting next year to see how these new alignments are experienced by the fans, conferences and athletes-

Athletes - how is travel?

Fans - how is travel, how interesting to you are the new match ups?

Conferences - what does the competition look like approaching 12 team playoff

Point Park going NCAA as a member of the Mountain East Conference:

Middle Georgia State (NAIA/Southern States Athletic Conference) has been invited to join the Peach Belt Conference (NCAA/D2).

https://mgaknights.com/news/2024/1/10/ge...rship.aspx

They'll apply to the NCAA by 2025, so they'll be in the NAIA for a couple more years.

Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts to end degree programs. The schools, which is connected to the museum, will still offer some continuing education and certificate programs, but will no longer offer Bachelors and Masters level degrees. The enrollment has fallen from 270 in 2019 to 126 in 2023.

After Covid wiped out their enrollment, they did not see a path back to a sustainable enrollment. In 2017, they had a surplus of over $6000 per student. With their enrollment drop and the loss of their economy of scale, in 2023 they were losing over $7000 per student.

Clinton Community College and Suny-Plattsburgh Planning to Merge

This would be done by 25/26 school year.

Looks like Bacone College might be done soon. They are about to lose their buildings and land to an auction.

That was true briefly but that was called off shortly after.
