We'll see about that. The other former GSAC members in the PacWest have had what we could call "sporadic success". Both APU and Point Loma have made it to the Final Four, but usually win no more than a game or two in the regionals. So yes, we'll see. The silver lining is that we'll be playing our historic rivals again in the PacWest: APU, Biola, Concordia, Fresno Pacific, and Point Loma.

It's good to be with your rivals, especially at a small school level.

I'm an alum of a school that made the move a few years ago. I miss the old NAIA, but those days aren't coming back.

We don't compete for national championships in D-II, but we compete well within our conference and region. And it's good to be with some of our historic rivals, both private and public.

I know enough about your school to know that they'll do D-II right. Your school will be fine.

Will they play NCCAA post-season tournaments during the transition?
