Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 4990322, member: 153"] And yet everything I'm reading in the Chronicle of Education says that, in this coming era of low #s in student demographics (compounded by both post 2008 low birth rates and the high cost of attendance) colleges need to leverage sports in order to have viable classes at all. Colleges are going to start investing in sports so that they can grab as many full payers as they possibly can. In order to survive. So... the only way to square these 2 contradictions is for schools to drop a class and not compete at the highest levels. They need sports to draw students, but they can't afford to compete. NET RESULT: the vast majority go D2 or D3. [/QUOTE]
