Sorry, I searched and couldn't find anything.

Any Socon (or CAA) folks hear anything of West Georgia's plans to move up? I know they'd have to wait until after the moratorium, but there stadium campaign website is pretty clear:



The economic impact on our community and region will be immediate and profound. Building these facilities now will help continue to attract additional excellent students, potentially driving our enrollment from the current 10,600 students to over 15,000 students. UWG is expected to cross the 11,000 student mark this fall. Once this enrollment goal is achieved, the institution desires to move from NCAA Division II status to NCAA Division I (Division I-AA in football) and play against such teams as The Citadel, Furman, Appalachian State, and Georgia Southern to name a few

I don't see this happening in the near future... If it did happen, they would be OVC or Pioneer.

Moratorium? Isn't that solely for moving from FCS to FBS?

No, it is a moratorium for schools moving to Division I (DII schools moving all-sports to DI).

One would think they at least win a few games in D2 before thinking about moving up.

Big South would be the most logical IMO.

I agree, Big South or maybe OVC, not Pioneer. My guess is both W Georgia and UNCP move up together and go Big South.

West Georgia, North Alabama, or UNC-Pembroke would never join the SoCon because that conference has its hopes set on Lenior-Rhyne, Wingate, and Carson-Newman.
