Basketball Times Pre-Season rankings just dropped. WLU checks in at #4 behind NW Missouri, W TX A&M and Lincoln Memorial and one slot ahead of #5...

Then reassign the older full faculty to teach only remedial and freshman english courses. Some will stay around to collect their gold plated paychecks...but...

Cutting a major only saves cost if you actually cut staff....

Building a WLU roster and playing the WLU style is tantalizing easy...At least on the surface. But for some reason coaches at other schools seem either...

OK...Call it State University of Pennsylvania (SUP) or maybe Keystone State University (KSU)....

In a nutshell, two things define the WLU style...Constant offensive and defensive pressure and trading 3's for 2's. If I had a dollar for every time...

[boatcapt]

Beg to disagree a little. I know I'm preaching to the choir but WLU's style is not just running and chucking up 3's. Defensively it's about full court...

[boatcapt]

Interesting. If combining six universities into two is projected to save $23M, I wonder how much would be saved if ALL the PASSHE schools were combined...

WLU as a whole was at 11 cases the first week, second week (I think...may have been third) they were at 3, then zero. This week I see they have two active...

I expect the same...Each of the remaining PASSHE schools offering general education and then beyond that offering majors in particular areas. For example,...

As a team, when the Toppers shoot north of 40% from 3, they are hard to beat!...

[boatcapt]

50%+ from 3 point land...that's CRAZY!

I hope WLU doesn't use him as just a big outside shooter/slasher. He has the size to be so much more...

[boatcapt]

Never said that they would or even should shutter the entire athletic program at any of these campuses or that the remaining athletic teams wouldn't be...

When things are going well, there are things that you can do with regard to athletics (multiple teams from the same organization funding the same sports)...

[boatcapt]

One of the cost savings that being highlighted is through "shared services." Why have three seporate functions when you can have one that is...

[boatcapt]

I'm interested in Watson but from the prespective of how WLU uses him. He is a bit unique for a WLU player. Do they treat him as just another shooter...

[boatcapt]

I think what will happen with regard to athletics is that they will be combined in each grouping and treated as a one program behind the scenes (one budget,...

Are they still playing baseball?? Hadn't noticed.

How much has tuition at PASSHE schools changed during the last 10 years?...
