Big disappointment from the original announcement. Well, on the bright side we should be able to beat Nobel.

From the original announcement:
the tournament will launch in November 2025 and feature a mix of Division-I teams from Power 5 conferences and mid-major schools, including Long Beach State's very own men's basketball team.

Chaminade is the only non D1 I would get excited about, because it means we're playing in Maui Invite
I don't understand this, unless as an MTE it will not count as another game against a non D1, and we already have two other non D1's. Which is lame either way. Or maybe Montana State had signed a contract already, and this was only way to save it for them.

MTE News: Long Beach State will host the Battle at the Beach MTE from Nov. 19-21. Montana State and Nobel University (non-D1) will also participate. Here's the schedule:
11/19: Nobel at Long Beach State
11/20: Nobel vs. Montana State
11/21: Montana State at Long Beach State
Home game v Montana St...nice
Home tournament with a non DI team...stupid
Sure its happened but I've never heard of a DI school hosting a tournament with a non DI team. Nobel is part of the NCCAA. Not even sure what that makes them.
This isn't a swing and miss, its a weak popup to the catcher.
