Doubtful..at least not anytime soon. We are still very much a commuter school even though they are trying very hard to move away from that especially with more dorms and student life.

And not to mention we don't have a football program,so we would get passed over by a lot of conferences...would be cool to get in with the OVC though.

Russell Hall is so hot right now
