MIAA adds two schools, potential for two more

Conference expansion has been a popular topic this summer for the NCAA. While the Pac 16 never came to fruition, the trend toward expansion is still alive in Divison II.

Further MIAA expansion a possibility

Four teams express interest in expanding conference from 12 schools to 16

Less than a month after Nebraska and Colorado left the Big 12 for the Big Ten and Pac 10, respectively, conference expansion is once again an area of interest—this time in Division II. The MIAA, which is officially expanding to 12 schools this school year in every sport but football, is considering the addition of a few more schools than originally planned. Lincoln, a member of the MIAA for 29 years until it left in 1999 to join the Heartland Conference, is returning to the MIAA in all sports except football, which will not become affiliated with the MIAA until the 2011 season.

Washburn baseball not advancing to post-season, end season at 21-23

The Ichabods will not be advancing to the MIAA post-season tournament. The team faced Emporia State last week in two double-headers. They were swept in the away games on April 25 and split the next day. Before the second double header, coach Steve Anson said he wanted to go 4-2 in MIAA games and end up 21-23 for the regular season—giving Washburn a chance to make it to the MIAA tournament.

Baseball taking a raincheck
