Thousands of fans walked through the gates at Allianz Field to watch the 89th Tommie-Johnnie game, a game that ended in a 38-20 win for St. John’s. Despite the Tommie loss, fans still found ways to enjoy the moment.

St. Thomas was involuntarily removed from the MIAC in spring 2019. The Tommies will officially stop competing in the conference after spring 2021.

St. Thomas received a Division I offer from the nine-member Summit League, announced on Oct. 4. The move to Summit League will require an NCAA waiver from its current rules, which state that Division III schools can only reclassify to Division II. According to the St. Thomas website, the Summit League currently is the school’s only Division I option.
