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.

WU's Dustin Yeager named Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar

Washburn Ichabod golfer Dustin Yeager, who wrapped up his career this spring at the NCAA regionals, was named a Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America scholar which was announced yesterday by the Golf Coaches Association of America. To be eligible for Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar status an individual must be a junior or senior academically, compete in at least two full years at the collegiate level, participate in 70-percent of his team's competitive rounds or compete in the NCAA Championships, have a stroke-average under 78.0 for Division II while maintaining a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 3.2.

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.

Season over for Ichabod golf

Golf finishes second at MIAA Championship

The Washburn University golf team's season was met with disappointment this year. After finishing in the eighth position in the MSSU Spring Invitational April 12 in Joplin, Mo., the team finished second at the MIAA Championships April 19 in Kansas City, Mo. Though the team finished in a higher position at the second tournament, it still fell far behind the lead with Central Missouri's 29-over-par, as opposed to Washburn's 43-over-par.

Piles’ play lacking after strong fall

Riley Piles started his foray into college golf on a high note last season. He finished in the top five twice, including a fourth-place tie at the Ichabod Invitational. Now in his sophomore year, Piles has found himself in a bit of a slump when it comes to putting the ball in the hole. Recently, in a tournament in Mission Viejo, Calif., Piles tied for 32nd.
