    Humboldt State dropped football at the end of this past season. In the end they played football as an associate member of the Great Northwest Athletic Conference along with Central Washington, Western Oregon, Simon Fraser of Canada, and Azusa-Pacific, also a football only member. To fill a schedule each team played other members home and away. Humboldt completed its final schedule with two trips to play teams in Texas. In the end the Jacks went 2-8, with their only victories over Simon Fraser. Azusa-Pacific is now the only D-II football school in California.

    Will the GNAC continue with just 4 members?

    Your guess is as good as mine, probably better. The conference as a whole has several other schools and sponsors several other sports, but football is suffering. http://www.gnacsports.com/home/default/

    I found this thread at d2football.com . <a href="http://www.d2messageboard.com/showthread.php?t=93151" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.d2messageboard.com/showthread.php?t=93151</a> (The level of conversation on this site has gone down the drain.) I lost interest after about 2 1/2 pages. A question about the future of the GNAC takes a sidetrack to insult hurling commentary on the prospects of the University of British Columbia joining the Pac 12.

    The loose idea seems to be that the remaining teams will continue in the GNAC, such as it is, and hope to come up with scheduling arrangements with the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference or the Lone Star Conference. That would require a travel budget for some teams that may already be watching the pennies.

    OK, the link does not seem to be working, which is probably not a loss, and yes, it could be operator error.

    Go to www.d2football.com . Click on "Message Board"on the left margin, scroll down to "Super Region 4" and "GNAC" about 3/4 of the way down the page, click on that and then to the thread titled "GNAC Future." It is a red envelope as it is pretty active, and should be near the top. Or skip it - you might have something you'd rather do like root canal work or visiting the in-laws.
