D3 St. Thomas makes the leap to D1 and will play football in the PFL in 2021...

Makes sense.  They are essentially to the Twin Cities, what TCU is to Fort Worth.

Not the PFL, but Tarleton State is also moving to D-1.  I have to believe that they keep scholarships in football, and eventually find a home for all sports in the Southland.

Hoo boy... St Thomas has a really good D3 football program. What's the over\under on the point spread when they play us?

As for Tarleton I have heard no indication whatsoever that they are dropping scholarships. I believe they will be an FCS Independent until they can find a home for their football team and\or the WAC becomes an FCS league.

Saint Thomas Had a great football tradition in D3 and will Consistently be at least in the top third of the conference.
