Article regarding TNU indicates that they may analyze addition of football - which I think would secure them membership in a league - http://wpln.org/?p=28726

And maybe, if they can grow the student body, eventually to D-I, like their former conference mates/rivals Belmont and Lipscomb.

I do not think Trevecca Nazarene is getting into the GSC. Why would the league push the membership of Union (Tenn) and Shorter (Ga.) while not doing the same for TNU? All the other schools that got accepted thus far had membership backing it from a conference...

Any word on NW Oklahoma State? Or Young Harris? Like TNU, Young Harris did not have the backing of any league, though I believe they made an effort to get into the Peach Belt and GSC...

No word on NW Oklahoma St (I keep refreshing the page), but Young Harris has a NCAA page now so read into that what you will...

EDIT: JUST FOUND IT http://www.ncaa.com/schools/northwestern-okla
EDIT 2: and http://www.ncaa.com/schools/okla-christian

I found NCAA team pages (blank except for school name) for all 17 supposed D2 applicants except Point Park (PA) -- even WV Tech, who has been denied. (Of course they used to be NCAA)

You had me excited for a while thinking their was a back door to figuring out who was getting in.

A Facebook user just posted on Senior Reports that Roberts Wesleyan was granted admission and will have a release out at 1 p.m... another surprise?

Senior Reports is now stating that "NW Okla has been denied D2 membership, posting on site in a little bit"

Per Senior reports (to be confirmed):
Daemen, Davenport and Oklahoma Christian are OUT

I didn't see mention of Young Harris and Shorter in Senior Report, but I was probably looking in the wrong place.

Still waiting on word regarding Holy Names and Point Park

Press releases say YHC to the PBC and McMurry to the Heartland fb Indy. I don't get why the LSC that just lost a few schools didn't take them, plus HC doesn't have fb LSC does.

NWOSU said they will re-apply next year.
