Exactly right, schools like Lake Erie would not have the enrollment to survive on their own most likely without sports bringing in more students who paying partial or full tuition.

An extremely high percentage of NDCs full-time, non-commuter students play sports.
Last I checked, NDC had over 500 student athletes, 50+ in the marching band (I know that's a small band, there is certainly room for growth), and probably about 50 cheerleaders (when you count football and basketball plus dance team). That means that probably 650 or more students are directly or indirectly related to NDC sports offerings.

Originally posted by kdubnation View PostNot a lot of smaller schools have marching bands, probably because they are almost entirely exhibition based for college, unlike high school which is more competitive in nature. So since it's just "for show" rather than out to compete and win awards, the cost isn't really justified.

BTW - I heard radio interviews (Nashville sports radio) the other day - both the TNU AD and SID spoke glowingly of the G-MAC. They had just returned from the G-MAC baseball tournament and, at least for the time being, appear to be the conferences biggest cheerleaders.
