Adding to the speculation of Oakland leaving the Summit League, director of athletics Tracy Huth told the Detroit News "Absolutely, we would definitely be interested" in joining the Horizon League.
"We have enjoyed our affiliation with the Summit League over the years (but) it makes sense (to join the Horizon). Geographically it makes a tremendous amount of sense. Monetarily it makes tremendous amount of sense."

Huth added he has had no contact with anyone from the Horizon League.
