Kq2's chris roush joins us live in studio with more... just hours after the ncaa says it's up to each division to make a decision for themselves... the division ii president council canceling all fall sports championships this fall..

Here is eagle radio and voice of the griffons dave riggert on the ncaa's decision this afternoon... (sot, dave riggert: "luster off of that.") a lot needs to be worked out now for conferences like the miaa for northwest and missouri western..
