Athletic director Sandy Hatfield Clubb confirmed the trip Tuesday night.

Huh??The only non-financial obstacle to the trip would exist if Drake was picked for NCAA “bridge program” that allows non-NCAA programs to be considered for NCAA postseason playoff selection — playing at a level similar to Northern Iowa’s postseason playoffs.

Yea, I must've missed the thread about Drake dropping out of the NCAA.
Maybe they meant CAA.
