D-III Powerhouse St. Thomas Is Getting Kicked Out of Its Conference Because It's Too Good at Sports

The Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) is showing one of its most successful founding members the door.

The 13-school Division III league has decided to kick out the University of St. Thomas, one of its founding members, due to concerns about “athletic competitive parity.”

In short, St. Thomas is just too good at sports for the rest of the MIAC, and if the Tommies had stayed, the teams they had been pummeling were considering leaving, threatening the future of the conference.

The @MIACathletics has released a statement that we will be involuntarily removed from the league.
