I moved this to the Other Conferences forum, so we have an NAIA thread with the conference threads. It's also an announcement, so it will always be up top.

So if there is a take over, does Lambuth still move to D-II. They are starting year 2 of their exploratory membership.

FresnoStAlum,thanks for the post.

The answer to your question is that no decisions have been made.Lambuth is in serious financial trouble.
Any state move would apparently require legislative approval which is in it's early stages of involvement.
