to become a D1 program given that their league recently expelled them from their conference because they were too good!
they are going straight to a division 1 program. The Coronavirus issues may have delayed their original planning, but they were supposedly going to field an independent team this upcoming season. If they still manage to do so, the absence of Huntsville on some schedules might open the door for them to schedule a full season.
That's what I heard as well. I believe they are planning on playing a hybrid D1/club schedule for a couple years as they ramp up, but the plan (at least was) to immediately implement the process of becoming a D1 program.
