Anyone Getting Tired of NW Missouri State?

[TheRealJoey]

- Winners of 4/5 of the last NCAA II Basketball championships.
- Winner of 6 National titles in Football. 30 conference championships.

I get the sense they have a bit of arrogance--maybe some condescension up there. Heard a few bad stories about bullying, etc...(But that could happen on any football team.)
I know an athlete that was snubbed by them in recruiting, and is better than anyone they have for what they do (but that could be for various reasons.)

Are they pretty much in line with all the other schools in the MIAA as a program?

Is the D1 move happening soon?

thought they have struggled some lately in football

2021 11-2 (9-1 conference) (Lost to #1 Ferris St. in playoffs)
2020 Cancelled
2019 12-2 (10-1 conference)

Well, as Joe Namath would say. "I don't think the team is STRUGG-UH-LING!"

If you live in Maryville MO, and are arrogant or condescending...well, goodness. Good for you I guess.

Other than proximity to a larger city, idk how Lindenwood can justify the jump to D1 and NW can stay D2 and dominate. What goes into that decision? Its mostly just a money flow thing right?

I’d say revenue plays a huge part. Including private donations and endowments. They have roughly the same enrollment. Lindenwood tuition is 2x-3x that of Northwest. I have zero basis for this next statement outside of an educated guess, but I’d say Lindenwood gets quite a bit more from private donations than Northwest. Imagine there’s a bit more money floating in and around St Chuck than Maryville…Biggest expense to the bump I believe is the facility upgrade, especially for football. I can’t remember what the stadium capacity minimum is, but it would be a significant increase to what Notthwest has.

Northwest will stay d2. It would cost a lot to move a stadium up to d1. Lindenwood should have stayed NAIA but whatever. Northwest went through years of bad records.

I'm just happy any MO team is actually competing for a national championship.

Damn private colleges recruit too much! They should have their own championship tournament and leave the state sponsored schools in their own so they can win!

Lindenwood's stadium holds 6,500. They have an endowment of $175Million, and will be the school with the biggest sports budget in the D1 Ohio Valley Conference.
Avg. FCS school stadiums are 14,500. But you have some big ones like Yale that hold 61,500. You also have tiny ones that hold 3,000
