sc49erfan15 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 The ASun commissioner either doesn't know how to use Twitter, is drunk, or a combination of the two. This guy might be a fun follow for a little while. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJIT in the A-Sun makes almost no sense. They'd be fairly centrally located in the America East (or at least UMBC will make them centrally located). At a minimum, they would be much closer to the other members. And in the "You Learn Something New Every Day" category, I just learned that Stanford is an associate member of the America East in field hockey. Who knew?

Nobody in their right mind would take Chicago State right now (not that a program that bailed on the Summit League because it was too hard to compete in would even consider signing on to the league that's a tier above from that.)

Now if they go the route that Indiana University Purdue University Fort Wayne did (Now Purdue Fort Wayne) and become say Indiana University Indianapolis it could be a little better. Untangling IUPUI is considerably more complex than untangling Fort Wayne was. 2 Quote On 8/1/2010 at 4:01 PM, winters in buffalo said: You manage to balance agitation with just enough salient points to keep things interesting.

sc49erfan15 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 University of Indianapolis is already taken, Indianapolis State would be too close to Indiana State, and University of Indiana-Indianapolis is too clunky. Purdue University-Indianapolis works, but whatever - and PUI would just be nicknamed "Pooey." Let the world have an Ooey Pooey. It's fun! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadragon76 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 If I remember correctly, it was about that long between the announcement of IUPUI joining the Horizon League and when they were added. Anyway, the moves that have been talked about are now official: NJIT heads to America East and Robert Morris goes to the Horizon League (as part of this move, the football program heads to the Big South in 2021 after a season of being an Independent) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, RMU feels like an outlier in the Horizon League to me even though it shouldn't. It isn't far at all from Cleveland State and Youngstown State, but the conference just seems more Midwestern to me. I guess it's sort of like when Penn State joined the B1G.

That might be the best analogy for that move. I also feel that since RMU is so close to Pittsburgh, it helps with the ideal that the Horizon League is a league of hub cities... Chicago, Green Bay, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Detroit, Cleveland, Dayton, Youngstown and now Pittsburgh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago, Green Bay, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Detroit, Cleveland, Dayton, Youngstown and now Pittsburgh. That is probably a good description of the conference. Upon further thought, the other reason that RMU seems like less of a fit to me is that it will be the only small private college in the conference other than Detroit Mercy. Every other school is public and only Detroit Mercy and UWGB have fewer than 15,000 students.
