Thanks. Updated above.

Nice pick-up for the Hawkeyes, but a huge blow for the Great Alaska, which has a serviceable field that also includes potential NCAA teams Denver, Harvard, and Indiana State. Hawkeyes clearly were the GAS's marquee entrant.

I'd make that switch all day, everyday haha

Looks like Iowa's all in for a big run next year, beefing up that non-conference, returning all those players. They could be real scary if they can handle being a team on people's radar.

OSU is playing in the Gotham Classic, which is not a traditional tourney because they are automatically playing Notre Dame in NYC in the "Showcase" game but will also host 3 other teams at home as part of the Gotham Classic. I think NDSU will be one of the three other teams but none have been announced officially.

Complete field announced for round-robin Gotham Classic. Add Bryant and Delaware to Ohio State, Notre Dame, and NDSU.
