If you haven’t heard, the shortlist of NCAA Division I schools in the state of Kentucky gained a new member this summer: the Bellarmine University Knights. After crushing it for the last decade-plus in Division II, Bellarmine announced their move to join the top level of college basketball last year, joining the Atlantic Sun Conference.
Now, it’s actually happening, as the move was made official this week. And as it just so happens, KSR has an inside source monitoring this momentous transition: me!
As a rising senior at BU who’s attended nearly every home basketball game for the last three years, I can confirm this news is not only a big deal for my school, but also for the city of Louisville and the state of Kentucky as a whole.
