IUP Football 2020

This is the big question. ITs comes down to Better choices by SRU - Focusing on western PA for recruiting students - their Admissions office was run better than IUP as well., SRU is cheaper since the per credit tuition IUP charges, SRU focused on key grad programs in the health field PT and PA programs, while IUP tried to be a destination school with its Honors college, and multiple grad programs. All of which have been battered by recent enrollment declines. I suppose it ends up being blamed on the quality of the Presidents and Board of trustees over the last 10-15 years.

Broad brush, yes. But, this topic was in reference to IUP vs. SRU. I'd guess when I left IUP ... IUP was nearly 3 times bigger than SRU? And, that was just -- give or take -- 20 years ago.

Got the response that was expected. Unfortunately.

Perhaps we could all move along and leave the Indiana soap opera discussion on another thread or site. Perhaps we could return to discussing football.

We could also dump the most over used cliche in this thread ..... "jus sayin" should die and fade away.

Perhaps one shouldn't worry about it and perhaps if one doesn't like it he/she/they can just not read it ............... jus sayin

There's only 1 Indiana resident on the 2019 roster. For people who want to know.

Talking with folks at Edinboro, they expressed similar shock at Slippery Rock's growth - but that growth happened while everyone else was growing. What Slippery Rock was able to do unlike the others was actually keep enrollment at or near the 2010 high.

Honestly, we're all bottom quartile of the pecking order so we're tied to our immediate regions. Western PA is down ~30% in the number of high school students from a decade ago so it makes sense to be down the same amount.

Yep. One is climbing and one is jumping off a bridge.

Rock has climbing/steady enrollment while IUP has falling enrollment. Eventually Rock will max out and that will help everyone else.

Saw a rumor on Twitter that SRU is projecting a higher enrollment next year than IUP.
