Purdue Northwest

Interesting things going on with Purdue regional campuses. Perhaps heading to D2. The GLIAC is in the process of losing six schools to a different D2 conference.

Very interesting.  You don't see many schools combining nowadays, though UT-Pan Am and UT-Brownsville combined recently to become the University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV).

I've found that in actuality that the campus near Westville is a bit better kept than the one in Hammond. I've been doing some work at the Purdue campuses for the former governor but my main job is for the IU campuses.

Purdue Northwest just doesn't have the campus presence that even IU Northwest has and they are not close to Div. II either.

Very curious.  I wonder why they were rejected.  We played PNC a few times, and their field wasn't all too bad.
