CollegeSportsInfo.com News: Mid-Con Expansion on the Horizon

Mid-Con Expansion on the Horizon

As reported in The Forum , the Mid-Continent Confernece has requested institutional profiles from North Dakota State, South Dakota State and Indiana University Purdue-Fort Wayne. The Mid-Con profile request includes enrollment, accreditation status, graduation rates, degrees offered, media outlets, local hotels, budgets, fundraising, season tickets for basketball, student SAT scores and student-athlete SAT scores.

The Mid-Continent will be at 8 schoolls with the departure of Chicago St. By requesting information from only 3 schools, we can conclude that an expansion to 12 schools is not on the Mid-Con agenda right now. Had the conference requested information from one other school (from a group including Texas-Pan American, Utah Valley State, Longwood University (Va.), New Jersey Institute of Technology) then we wouldn't rule out 12 teams. But for now, despite 3 school submitting profiles, the assumption is that the Mid-Con will expand by 1 or 2 teams bringing it's total to 9 or 10 schools.
