An NCAA Division III powerhouse is set to be booted from the conference it helped found with six other schools in 1920 for being too successful in athletics. The Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) decided Wednesday to oust the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, citing athletic parity. “The MIAC Presidents' Council cites athletic competitive parity in the conference as a primary concern. Other MIAC presidents sought to expel St. Thomas with amended league rules that would enact an enrollment cap, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported last month. St. Thomas President Julie H. Sullivan called the conference’s decision “extremely disappointing,” according to FOX 9.
