I thought I saw elsewhere that there was similar record keeping, that started me in that understanding they existed before. But, I also did not know the history of Chicago State to know how long they've been DI. There's been numerous reclassifications in that time span, especially from DII to DI and some making the NAIA to DII to DI jumps in a relatively quick span.
Chicago State is, I believe, an HBCU. It will be interesting to see how they recruit and if they are able to get a team, including coaching staff, that mirrors their student body.
Not historically black, but its enrollment demographics are similar to those of an HBCU. They moved up to D1 in 1994.
NCAA Division III sports powerhouse Williams is latest small college to cancel fall sports competition
Stannard on Oberg: "Jules has a very unlikely path to Yale and I give him a lot of credit for his persistence and desire to push himself to play at the Division I level and beyond. We initially recruited him coming out of Berkshire, but it wasn't meant to be at the time. He brings a lot of experience and great coaching from all the places he's been and that will help balance the loss of a very strong and experienced senior group.left anyway Jules Oberg--Swe-- may have transferred anyway but he was likely told back in May that Williams was thinking of canceling fall sports.
The fall sports list will just continue to grow: Michigan-Dearborn (NAIA) Wake Tech (NJCAA) Amherst (DIII) TCNJ (DIII) Grinnell (DIII) Williams (DIII) Bowdoin (DIII) California Collegiate Athletic Association (DII) Numerous conference schedule/alignment changes Reportedly, NCAA is talking a January start date for winter sports (namely: basketball). The NCAA needs football to stay in a relatively healthy financial state, and definitely cannot afford to lose another basketball season.
One to watch now...Ivy League. Harvard just announced all classes will be online for the 2020-21 school year. Expected athletic decision for the Ivy League to be done on/by July 8.
The Athletic reported today the Ivys are looking at pushing all fall sports to the spring. (It's subscription only so I'm not posting a link.) If that happens, I imagine many other leagues will follow suit. The Power 5 will, of course, drag their feet on this and try and play, especially b/c of the economics (towns dependent on football weekends) and politics (many of them in red states) involved. But it's gonna be hard for some to say they aren't playing - especially if students aren't on campus - and others to play.
Well, this Dick Move by our current government is doing to complicate the lives of a lot of college soccer coaches. https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/06/poli...utm_term=link&utm_content=2020-07-06T20:48:03
https://www.golfdigest.com/story/new-report-confirms-the-2020-college-football-season-is-going-to If B1G ADs are just waiting "to not be first" before pulling the plug on football, it doesn't bode well for non-revenue sports.

The NCAA needs football to stay in a relatively healthy financial state, and definitely cannot afford to lose another basketball season. Not adding it until it's finalized, but Ivy and Patriot Leagues are expected to delay all sports until the spring semester. I don't think it's final, but the Maricopa County Community Colleges District (NJCAA) have made a recommendation to cancel all sports for the 2020-21 school year.
The Division III Centennial Conference has cancelled fall sports. "Exploring" whether or not to move some/all fall sports to the spring. https://www.centennial.org/sports/general/2020-21/fall_2020

This is the green light other administrations have been waiting for, a marquee university to make major changes. I really, really hope I'm wrong but I fear the flood gates will open now.
Just checked on a few other schools and amount of teams: Stanford 36-11=25 UGA 19 U of M 27 Clemson 17 hopefully just getting in line with other schools?
And it's official - no Ivy League sports this fall. https://www.espn.com/college-sports...ying-all-sports-fall-due-coronavirus-pandemic
All of a sudden, a single mens' soccer game has popped up on IUHoosiers.com - Charlotte on 9/15/20. I can't tell whether or not it's an error, but all of the IU football games are also on the calendar now.
This seems optimistic... https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/29434331/acc-delay-all-fall-sports-least-sept-1
Supposedly B1G will be only playing conference schedule. That will definitely make a ripple to all the other conferences.
