No More Dixie?

This is interesting and may impact the college athletic scene in the west a few years down the road...

The Board of Trustees for Dixie State College announced they will petition the University of Utah to become the University of Utah-St. George. It would be within the University of Utah's system, but would offer more 4-year degrees and increase graduate programs. It would keep its own athletic department, and the profile might match that of a Division I school...

Dixie State Seeks Partnership with University of Utah
 
In the late 90's the University of Utah pushed hard for this change. At the time Dixie was against it. I see this as being a big problem for SUU.
 
Interesting... All these little schools left over from the LDS church (dixie, snow, weber, Ricks, etc..) are slowly canning their athletics programs. Unfortunate.
 
Ricks is the only one who canned their athletic program. None of the others have (or plan to) as far as I know...
