If there is a have/have-not division on the
circuit, it is worst between large and small schools.
Consider the number of schools that have disappeared from
the circuit since I began playing in 1995: Quincy,
Truman State, Eureka, Beloit, Lee, Garden City Community
College. A few of these have disappeared altogether, while
others I think still do CBI only. Why? Probably
difficulty in maintaining organization after core groups
leave, as well as more difficulty attracting students to
teams that usually don't have much chance to win.
Solution? Nothing really, except hope new people come along
to start something, as has happened at
DePauw.
