St. Thomas received a Division I offer from the nine-member Summit League on Friday. Chief Video Editor Jack Stanek gathered reactions from students, a parent and football head coach Glenn Caruso at the St. Thomas homecoming game against Concordia-Moorhead.

The move to the Summit League requires an NCAA waiver from its current rules, which state that Division III schools can only reclassify to Division II.

While the wait continues, one thing is for certain for Caruso.

“I’m a big believer in it’s not where you go, it’s who you go with,” Caruso said. “As long as I get to go with the University of St. Thomas, this football team and that administration, I’m a pretty happy camper.”
