Basically, yes. But honestly, just using the definition of a "returning starter" instead of something more detailed provides the best results. I wrote about it in the preseason last year.

Buena Vista names new president.

http://www.bvu.edu/about/news/detail?id=48f90873-4e8c-4b00-8449-cc1658e905de

From the article...

Merchant has worked in education for the past 19 years and has extensive experience in strategic planning, fundraising, external engagement, marketing and enrollment management.

With a $127 million endowment and decent annual giving, maybe this new leadership can increase on-campus enrollment up from the approx. 800 they now have in Storm Lake.

Whatever became of UIU's lawsuit?

FAYETTE, Sep 8, 2004  -- Upper Iowa University has filed a lawsuit charging two former top administrators shared trade secrets with a competitor, the University of Dubuque.

The petition alleges former President Ralph McKay and former Senior Vice President Phillip Langerman conspired with the University of Dubuque and its president, Jeffrey Bullock. The information comes from court documents filed in Fayette County District Court on Aug. 27.

Upper Iowa maintains its competitors used the secrets to establish a competing international studies program at the University of Dubuque. Upper Iowa charges McKay and Langerman gave Upper Iowa's international handbook, descriptions of operations and organization, enrollment projections, financial information and confidential details regarding the growth of Upper Iowa's international and domestic studies programs.

Mmmmmm, not so much ...but who knows, maybe I'll find oil while shootin' at a coon!

Never heard anything after they filed the lawsuit. My guess is there was some sort of settlement. Otherwise it would have been in the news somewhere.

Fewer Beavers Inhabit Storm Lake

http://www.stormlakeradio.com/2016/09/22/bvu-enrollment-drops/

QuoteThere are 784 undergraduate students at the Storm Lake campus... down from 881 a year ago. Retention of first to second year students remains consistent at 73 percent, which is in line with national data for institutions similar to BVU. University president Fred Moore says the drop in enrollment mirrors what is happening among private colleges in Iowa. He says among BV's top 20 private competitors, 15 lost enrollment between 2014 and 2015. He says the entering freshman class has more out of state students, and is more ethnically diverse than in recent years.

Well as far as I know they don't have any international centers, like Webster University, or international centers like Upper Iowa and BVU have off campus centers around Iowa.  If you're talking International programs like spending a semester abroad or spending J-term abroad, they do offer those.  UD also has a strong presence with recruiting DODDS students.  Military kids growing up in Europe or Japan.

As far as football...I believe it is 26 more Saturdays until IIAC football!

Have the Wartburg women ever NOT won the trophy? It would have had to happen the last few years, because while I was there and before they had never lost it.
