Sort of relating to this -

Last year, the Frontier Football Conference invited some schools to become assocaite members.
To my knowledge, Eastern Oregon (Cascade) had previously joined,
Southern Oregon (Cascade) accepted,
Azusa Pacific declined, but instead moved up to D-2 PacWest,
and ALSO Menlo College (CA, of CPAC) ws invited.

Does anyone know if Menlo accepted this invitation to Frontier FB League ?

Thanks.

I still have Menlo as fb Indy. So if something happened, let me know.

Found this Article about the USA South, says that this summer they might add Covenant and Huntingdon from the Great South Conference in May, and that Peace will become co-ed and change their name to William Peace, I'm not sure what men's sports they plan to add, but if they want to add males to the campus, football would be an idea.

Or you could just spread the word that there's a school full of chicks and that will work the same or better w/o the cost of football.

It will be interesting to see where Maranatha Baptist goes from here since their own press release mentions finding a new conference: http://more.mbbc.edu/crusader/mens-soccer/maranatha-to-withdraw-from-northern-athletics-conference/.

The Midwest Conference would never accept them because they are "academically" inferior in their minds. The Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference won't work because Maranatha isn't a University of Wisconsin system school (while there is no conference rule requiring a school to be one to join they have never had a school that was not). College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin schools would destroy Maranatha Baptist since they couldn't compete in the Northern Athletics Conference. Upper Midwest Athletic Conference is the only Division III conference left in the area and Maranatha Baptist is 300 miles away from the closest school.

UMAC makes sense since they're down to 7 w/ Presentation going Indy.
