The Athletics page has changed its web partnership for digital services and redesigned the pages. Consequently, currently the links to their pages from here are not working. Maybe they will get that corrected or the links here will need to be reset. I hope they add a redirect so the reset is unnecessary and this is not a problem for all places on the web that have links to the Athletics page.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll give it a bit to see if things get changed on their end before I update our links.

As someone who specializes in UX/UI design and implementation, I am pleased with how the new look turned out. That site has needed a face-lift for years. Now they even have a decent mobile formatting. Sucks the links don't work however.

I’m guessing this is a quirk of the new website, but the football schedule currently has them playing St. Thomas University (Canada) instead of The University of St. Thomas (USA). Doesn’t help that their mascots are both the Tommies.

Besides that, the website looks great! It absolutely needed a modern refresh.

Good catch -- thanks for pointing that out. I have adjusted this on our website. We are still identifying and fixing a few minor glitches with the data import into the new website like the one you mentioned.

@brandon Gotta say, I am loving the direct embedded ESPN+ links on the schedule pages. Hopefully once the OTA deal is finalized for the Chicago market we can get that info on the site as well
