Big moves by the Wolf Pack which won a NAIA MBB National Championship 4 years ago & was in the NAIA Baseball World Series last year

Expected to move into the Gulf South Conference with the likes of Delta State & Mississippi College

Rumor is Xavier is switching NAIA conferences soon... from Red River to Southern States

Dillard I believe is at home in the NAIA's HBCU Athletic Conference and won't be leaving anytime soon

And UNO? Like D1 UNO? The now LSUNO? They already tried moving down right after Katrina & that failed... I don't think they'll try that again anytime soon...

Though... Loyola's former AD just became LSUNO's new AD

They were 1-4 against LSU. Eeeked out a win in their first game in 1922.

Centenary has a win AND a tie.

Starting this fall, Loyola will also feature men's and women's varsity rugby teams. Both teams will compete against national competition in the College Rugby Association of America.

Good for them. It takes very little investment from the university to build a quality program. Smaller sports are also a great enrollment driver for smaller private schools.
