This week, we have a special Tuesday edition of The Inside the Lines High School Podcast with Jim Powers as he takes a look at the newest member of the NCAA Division I ranks in Lindenwood University. First, Jim chats with Lindenwood head football coach Jed Stugart about the transition to Division I and how it will affect the way that his staff will recruit the area. We then catch up with new Lindenwood Athletic Director Jason Coomer about his move from SIUE to Lindenwood and about the exciting times for the Lions in their new era.
