This won’t come as a real shock for anyone since it’s a name change we’ve been talking about for years since it makes the most sense (listening Summit League?). Confirmed sources including Northern Iowa AD Rick Hartzell have made it clear that the Gateway members are discussing the change. With 5 Missouri Valley schools participating in the Gateway, a name switch now would be best for everyone. The alternative would be more drastic and force the MVC and ivite an existing Gateway member as a full-time member. This is a path the CAA went down when they invited Northeastern in their coup to absorb A10 football.
