A run for what? They are ineligible for post-season play.

they are?? i didnt know that. i thought it said they were going to have a vote on it or something when it gets closer to the real season?

From the GRLC Press Release:

....the GRLC was forced to declare the 2003, 2004, and 2005 competitive seasons for Lindenwood as forfeit; and vacated the Lindenwood 2003 GRLC Division B Conference title, as well as their 2005 GRLC Division A Conference title. Lindenwood University has been placed on three years of disciplinary probation for the three years they fielded a varsity team, during which they may not compete in GRLC or MDIA post season play.

While they could certainly ban a team from their conference championship tournament, I don't think the GRLC has the authority to ban one of their teams from MDIA post-season play.

so if lindenwood did good this year and got a bid to go to nationals. they could go?

You may be right; I certainly don't know. The GRLC seems to think that they can ban them, but it wouldn't be the first time they erred in judgment in this whole proceeding.

I don't know that with any degree of accuracy. I was just stating my personal opinion as a non MDIA Board Member.
