The Men's Soccer team was quite good and had an exciting 2022 season. Their roster is mainly international students too, but a lot of that is the NYC appeal. It's a draw for foreign players for sure to play at the pier with the Manhattan skyline, the Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty righ there. Another problem is they used public fields and as a result, could not charge admission. Even if 200 people came to a soccer match and you could charge $10 per person, it's a couple thousand dollars to cover some expenses. They couldn't generate any sports revenue. That's on the school for not working on something with the city or bureau of Brooklyn.
Unsustainable. And the fallout will destroy a lot of areas that depend on them.

The St. Peter's Women's Basketball Team went 0-30 this season. Ouch!The Strongest And Weakest Colleges In America — Behind Forbes 2022 Financial Grades
As the financial health of most universities goes from bad to worse, a little-known nonprofit college in California is gushing returns and expanding nationwide by cribbing from the for-profit playbook.
This should give you a huge indicator for who may be next: Rider, Jacksonville, and St. Peter’s.
Thaks for the link. The top listing is dubious for financial health, which makes me wonder about the bottom list. I doubt Bard College is in trouble, and it likely never will be due to proximity to New York, but they got hit because of major administrative screwups which cratered their budget. That's far different than schools that are drowning.The Strongest And Weakest Colleges In America — Behind Forbes 2022 Financial Grades

Been saying this forever. The cost has skyrocketed unlike anything else. It's a broken model.
I also see no issue in going to technical schools. College isn't for anyone and tbh, you can make a whole lot more in the technical field than you could with a degree in history from a 4 year college. We have a neighbor whose kid decided to go to EC Goodwin for HS instead of our town HS because he knew what field he wanted to get into and he struggled in some school areas. He's already had an apprenticeship lined up and he's only in HS. College used to be the next step after HS for everyone. It shouldn't be that way anymore and many kids are seeing that due to the insane cost.
There is such a shortage of tool and die makers now due to retirement and the mistake of cutting trade school majors (Kaynor cut machining center training about 10 years ago, I think) that many command the same salaries as VPs at companies. Facts.
