      What would be the barriers to adding a 3rd division to the MACHA? It seems that the MACHA is pretty crowded. I realize though that it is a good problem to have compared to team wanting to leave but just for thought, it could look something like the following.

      Gold

      Mizzou
      ISU
      SIUE
      Iowa
      Missouri State
      NIU
      SLU
      Loyola
      Kansas
      Eastern
      Illinois


      Silver

      Mckendree
      Missouri State
      RMU Peoria
      Bradley
      Iowa
      Iowa State
      Northwestern
      Marquette
      Plateville
      RMU-White
      Nebraska
      Purdue
      Dordt

      This turns the Silver Division into a pretty competitive D3 league in my opinion.

      "Bronze" ?

      Augie
      Western
      RMU-Springfield
      SIUE D3
      RMU Black
      Lewis
      NIU D3
      ISU D3
      Kansas
      Wheaton


      I have no intentions of disrespecting the teams that would be put into the "bronze" division, but I just feel that as a player you want to have a shot at winning something at the end of the year. This gives every team in every division a chance at that. It's tough for teams like SIUE D3, NIU D3 or ISU D3 to put a team in both gold and silver that can win it because the top talent (usually) is going to be up with gold.
