Where does Regent (Virginia Beach VA) land about 2028-29?The C2C, if anywhere. Since radical fundamentalist college Bob Jones had no conferences wanting to take them, I don't see Regent doing any better. I live near there, and they have a LONG way to go to be anywhere near a D3 school. Regent has NO on-campus athletic facilities, no dorms, no field, no gym for basketball or volleyball, no baseball field. All their home games take place at local Christian private high schools and rec centers. I can't see the ODAC or USA South even glancing their way. They are best staying in the NCCAA, or maybe the USCAA if they get some facilities.
Montclair St. - 21
Union - 35
After I lightly trash talked the NJAC yesterday, It would be a typical Union thing to not show up and have a dogfight or even lose here. But I'll continue giving them the benefit of the doubt for now. I like Union in a 2 TD comeback win.
Keystone - 10
Hobart - 35
I wouldn't mind seeing Hobart getting their offense going this week. I'd expect somewhere around a double monkey-stomp.
After all these years, ironically, I have a daughter attending college and playing softball in northeast Ohio.
Now that I live in SW Ohio, catching Mount Union on the road is more likely than seeing a Rowan game. The Profs played well on both sides of the ball this week, so that was nice... caught the game on the web.
Wife got promoted and transferred. I do marketing from home. My son will be 8 in November. We visted the Cincinnati area a few times because her boss wanted to see if we'd like it. The people are so nice and the city is so clean. There's plenty to do. Tennessee is on the potential retirement living list. My son is still young enough that he hasn't developed those life long relationships. So we decided to go for it. And for a bourbon drinker like me, the good small batch KY and TN stuff is significantly cheaper.
We are living in between Dayton and Cincinnati. Son is getting busy... he's got BJJ, drum lessons, and catechism. There's indoor kiddie flag fb in January, if he's interested.
I haven't touched a golf club in about 20 years. Got a nice public 9 hole executive course 3 miles from the house, and a 36 hole 5 miles from the house. Feeling the tingle. Gonna work at the indoor and outdoor ranges in the offseason.
Homecoming at the high school is on Oct 6. The locals have told me that on Friday night, the town basically stops for football, and homecoming is even larger. Planning on taking the kid and the wife to feel the energy.QuoteCatechism..................love it. Churches are so devoid of young people these days. You are doing a great job and teaching him, by far, what is the most important in the very brief time that we are here. God Bless you for it!!
I'm been very fortunate to be an older Dad with a 7-8 year old. I am able to experience all these great things as my son goes through them for the first time. I did my 14 hr work days before he came around. Bus stop waiting in the AM is great. Yesterday, he explained to me why farts make noise. Good times. Every morning it's something interesting.
Farts are fun. While drum lessons are promising, a good pep band, in addition to a kazoo, needs a trumpet. Air being pumped through a narrow opening results in a glorious sound! Let me be the first Pep Band recruiter to reach out to JT2 Jr. He would be most welcome at Alfred University....an easy 8 hour drive from Cincy...to add to our amazing glorified flatulence.
On Saxon Warriors!
My son has been exposed to music very early on... blues, pop, rock, and country and when Mom isn't around we listen to the good stuff AC/DC, Kiss, Metallica, Motley Crue, etc. He's never really been into kiddie songs, has his own playlists. He mentioned he wanted to play in a rock band. I said there are three main instruments, guitar, piano, and drums. He picked drums. I said fine, but he must commit to 30 weekly lessons, and he can't quit before 30 lessons.
Echos of my Father... I was never allowed to quit any sport mid-season, and any lessons had to be for a minimum of six months.
God first...............all else second.
I wish that I had never given up on the guitar and piano. My nastiest looking friends dated all of the hottest girls. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.......need I say more.
A good week for the LL going 6-1 with the lone loss by Buffalo State to Apprentice the Shipbuilders from Newport News(FYI the Builders beat Christopher Newport last year , and CNU barely lost to JHU yesterday .....how good is JHU??)

New top 25 is out: Salisbury out as expected. Surprised not see CNU with more votes.
As a parent of 4 you have to look into EVERYTHING when it comes to education.
Sticker price, Grad rates, placement rates etc.
It always drove me nuts when fellow parents would rip on cost of private Higher Ed and applaud state edus
One word for any parents out there looking-
If everything is equal- look for the hidden fees and conditions of "free tuition"
Excelsior is amazing- but holy smoke read the fine print!
So very true. I have 2 adult children and there are so many factors involved. And there is no such thing as apples to apples comparison. It's a fruit salad. Apples to oranges to grapes to pineapple to cherries etc....drives you nuts. And it isn't always about money. You want your kid to be in a place where there is a fit and they can become successful (by whatever definition they use to define success).
My son decided on a technical college and has a degree in Network Security. My daughter started at JMU and transferred to CNU after one semester. Long story but she couldn't chase her dream while at JMU. She graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in Economics and became a professional dancer. She's old (32) and now choreographs and teaches. I like to ask her how it feels to be "washed up" at 32!!!
Both kids had students loans that, fortunately, were paid off quickly. I am so glad that part of life is behind me. Best of luck to you and your kids!
Cheers!
Between their pricing practices, the ridiculous lack of transparency, and the student loans, there’s just no industry in America that gets away with predatory behavior like higher education. It’s shameful and a total disservice to students and parents. Different acceptance rates based on what you can pay, absurd sticker price/net cost dynamics that hide the ball, nickle and diming kids on transfer credits, endless junk fees, and perhaps worst of all, making kids pay for a dozen GenEd classes they neither want nor need. It’s no wonder that the percentage of young adults who think going to college is important has dropped from 74% to 41% in the last decade.

"Support"
I get that these schools are all competing for the same kids essentially.
Sure there are some institutions that have a traditionally higher tuition, but in the grand scheme the kids are the same bunch.
Some may think that state schools have a tuition advantage- not so fast my friend- I have 2 in college now- one at a SUNY - one at a private.
SUNY has cost us MORE than the private even though tuition is in the very high 30s!
