The background info:
Deemed too good for the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC), the University of St. Thomas was involuntarily ejected from the MIAC on Wednesday, May 22, 2019. The Tommies were ousted from a conference they helped found in 1920, after MIAC school presidents met to make their final decision via a majority vote.
The local Catholic University in St. Paul was given two years to figure out their plans for the future, as they would have to leave the MIAC following the conclusion of the 19/20 school year. Immediately, speculation grew as to what was coming next for the Tommies.
