Augsburg College joined the UMLL (Division 2) and attended the fall meeting. There were no other team changes brought forward at the meeting.

From what I hear, it sounds like the team has done a great job of getting things organized and ready to roll so they will be able to be a competitive force in Division 2.

Is DePaul DI or DII? Corbin has DII in his post, but Sonny you've got them as DI.

[Troy Hood]

Under our current system of designating D1 and 2, DePaul is a Division 2 team. All is subject to change for 09 when the BOD determines the new criteria.

Can someone from the GRLC exec. board confirm that Western Illinois (D2) has been removed from your conference?

[Sonny]

Western Illinois has been removed from D2 of the GRLC above.

For the remaining MCLA Conference meetings - I need conference executives to report any conference membership changes (additions AND deletions) PLUS teams that change divisions in this thread. Thanks.
