It's clear that this committee isn't representative of the campus community as a whole. The BoT represents the stakeholders of the whole institution a lot more than this committee.

While I agree that the student rep is likely ill informed, lacks the strategic vision needed to set strategic policy, and not a good representation of the will of the students, I don't have any...
Nothing wrong with having a student trustee.
This reminds me of this Simpsons episode.

It's like the quote attributed to Henry Ford: "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have...
Why would the Patriot League ever break up?
BCU and FAMU always seemed like they belonged in the SWAC, to me. Of course, I am basing that mainly on geography but I am not surprised it happened.
I am not sure that VSU or KySU are better...

So not only are they using it to drive traffic to their site and forcing people to sign up but once they get in it is behind a paid area?
Is this it?

What were they paying the coach? Is this to pay the staff less money or more money? The move seems odd but I can't help but wonder if the new President was involved in the decision.
Discounts are the norm at private schools. The whole model is that the sticker price is high to get the wealthier kids to subsidize the education of the lower (or middle) income and each student...
When I say soon, I mean within a few years. Which means probably two years after that point is when they play their first conference game.
So I don't expect the WAC to be banking on them. Same...
I have been under the impression that Utah Valley (and UT-Arlington) both have been making the decision to stay the course without football with the goal of being like a VCU or Wichita State.

The units are paid out over six years. Did they pay out the additional unit share in the year the team made it or for the six years following their bid? If the former, then it would just be like a...
The NCAA asks each conference to equally distribute among the conference members. The A10 (and WCC for Gonzaga's shares) are the only conferences that I am aware of that do not distribute equally.

His statement was accurate. He chose his words well.
He said "for making the NCAA tournament" they didn't see more money. And that is true. They get the same money from the NCAA unit if they...
That's the party line.
But that isn't how things really work.
Hartford gives merit scholarships. The majority of their institutional aid is not real money. They do have some endowed...
UConn's losses are much more real dollars than Hartford.
Public schools use real dollars much more often because they have state agency audits. Also, they blow a ton of money in their athletic...
Who is claiming it is?
There are costs but they are not properly accounted for here.
Hartford has underutilized facilities. They have dorms that are not full. They have a very high...
A football public school compared to a non-football private school will actually be pretty even.
No, it is not. At a public school it is because many states have laws that prohibit giving...
You're is correct. The equation is different with schools that have robust waitlists due to demand well exceeding the number they admit. Hartford is not one of these schools. But even if that were...
No, this is not correct.
Their most recent financial disclosures to the Depart of Education listed their total athletic spending at $10 Million. That would be the maximum they could "lose" and...
100%.
The President is trying to kill D1 sports and hired someone to confirm his position to sell it to the board. Now he is getting out ahead of it by making the asinine statement that...
This is my understanding as well. Chicago State made the decision on their own and the WAC was very supportive of their decision.
This is not my understanding (though things could change). ...
