Milligan University will be the 50th school in the NAIA to offer bowling as an intercollegiate sport for both men and women. The program will begin in the fall of 2021 with Brian Rickert as head coach.
Rickert comes to Milligan after serving as the assistant bowling coach at Ottawa University for the last two years.
“I am very excited to be the head bowling coach at Milligan University and to be a part of starting this program from the ground up,” said Rickert according to Milligan’s athletic website.
Milligan’s new program will become the fourth bowling team to compete in the Appalachian Athletic Conference. For more information, click here.
