I guess I should be one to know this but I don't so I'm wondering if
anyone knows what the impetus for Lowell to move to D-I in the early 80's
was.  Was it the fact that they had been a dominate D-II team for such a
stretch or was that the time when the D-II championship was done away
with?  Lowell is still a D-II school in every other sport....
 
I have a copy of a Sports Illustrated from the early 80's which had an
article on the Lowell D-II "dynasty".  The reporter had asked Coach Billy
Riley if/when the team will move to Division One, and Billy had said
absolutely not!
