So, going forward, they will offer 7 Women’s Sports & 4 Men’s Sports. According to my wife’s math, they have now reached true equality.

I wonder what the rest of the GNAC football teams will do.

Azusa Pacific- was NAIA. Will now be the only D2 football school in California.
Central Washington- perennial playoff team. Could they go FCS?
Simon Fraser- the only Canadian football team in D2.
Western Oregon- not a candidate to go FCS. Could go D3 or NAIA.

Central Washington isn’t that much smaller than eastern Washington. Big Fluffy can always use another team.

That’s happening all along the left coast. Western Washington was in the conference and dropped football. Sonoma state, Chico state etc

This isn’t a West coast school but there’s big talks about UW-Parkside adding football by 2023 and there’s already stadium plans apparently but they aren’t sure on conference affiliation yet cause they’re moving conferences in all other sports right now and aren’t sure if the new conference will take the football team yet.

Parkside left the GLVC- Great Lakes Valley Conference to join the GLIAC- Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. This is not to be confused with the G-MAC- Great Midwest Athletic Conference. All three conferences sponsor football. Parkside is the only D2 school in Wisconsin.

Thank you for clarifying that cause I forgot the GLIAC was also a football conference and it’s surprising that Parkside is the only D2 school in the state but they’re also one of the few to not have a football program. The reason this even has any footing to it is cause a lot of kids from the surrounding area are good enough to play in D2 but there’s no D2 Football school in the state and the state is finally realizing that and are silencing the badgers in saying they want to be the only big school with football in the state and the state is even planning on subsidizing some of the costs for the stadium. It’s also gotten a lot of support from the high schools in the surrounding counties(Racine,Kenosha,Milwaukee, Beloit, etc) saying a lot of their football players all want a local D2 school to have an option to go to.

MSU-Mankato has always gotten some great talent out of Wisconsin. Back when I was an underground Doug Thompson from Avery was the QB. John Coatta, who had been the head coach at Wisconsin, recruited strongly there. Both guys living in the dorm room next to mine were from WI.

The WIAC is one tough D3 conference. Plenty of good players. I think it would make a great D2 conference but as you said, the Badgers have a lot of pull. I would have hoped that Marquette or Green Bay or Milwaukee would have an FCS team.

Minnesota and Nebraska are the same. No FCS schools, no in-state rival. But at least both have D2 football.

Marquette actually has a football team technically but it’s for the university high school and not the college. Green Bay actually has a good reason for not having a football team and that is the fact that they would have to be FCS and their enrollment wouldn’t be able to handle that. Think of it as what Chicago State are going through right now. UW-Milwaukee isn’t really in a situation to have a football team either. Nowhere to put a stadium for one, two with the metric ton of high schools in the area that are popping up every year it leaves less space for a college team in the area. With the state finally getting the Badgers to play fair and allow Parkside to have a team it makes me wonder how they’re going to do starting out. Another funny thing is that the state is trying to push Parkside to the FCS Within 15 years and they’re putting their foot down on Madison saying the state needs more higher level competition(only reason I know this is cause my wife works at Parkside in and around the athletics.) it’ll be good for the state in the long run hopefully.

I'd like to see a FCS team in Wisconsin. I'm just surprised that they are pushing this.

Humboldt was the last game SDSU played in D2. Beat them in 2003 47-6 at CAS.

Id imagine the whole state isn’t a Badger fans, they’d like to cheer for a D1 that is closer maybe.

None of the GNAC schools currently have the facilities for FCS football. Even Portland State's second home (Hillsboro stadium) is almost double of what CWU's football capacity is.

There are some NAIA teams currently in the Frontier conference that have looked at moving up to DII. Southern Oregon has openly talked about it, and it has been widely speculated that College of Idaho is using the Frontier as a stepping stone, and wants to be DII by 2020. There is even some talk from longtime Frontier stalwarts Carroll College and Montana Tech that they may start to look at DII.
