Are there schools or programs in jeopardy of being dropped because of finances or numbers?

Marnataha's struggles in football have me thinking about this? I know some colleges are struggling with finances.

I think Maranatha's struggles this year has to do with a late hiring of a head coach thus having very little time to go out and get players for the team. They haven't had big rosters from watching them play against the NACC and other teams. Unfortunately, there isn't that many fellow NCCAA schools out there that sponsor football for them to play against.

I know their were several programs recently (2013) started programs. Actually some schools look at it as a money maker. It brings young men to their campus that may have otherwise not matriculated there.

I'd heard Centenary was in dire straits last Spring regarding enrollment figures.  At one point I believe they were even offering free housing to attract students.  My source isn't the most reliable, but brought it up in a venue where there was no reason to exaggerate about it.

Right, but sports are a budget cruncher and I know some tuition-dependent schools are struggling to make the balance sheet sing.

This looks like a good place for this.  Banana Slugs approve increase in fees for sports.

The increase in student fees is not 180%.

It is 18 times as much, from $15/year to $270/year.  That is an 1800% increase.

At least they voted to keep athletics as part of the institution. I applaud that. I was worried that vote could go the other way and athletics would have been scuttled after this upcoming academic year.

Finlandia and UMPI are announced as affiliates of the CUNYAC. The CUNYAC has 5 baseball full members. Perhaps the CUNYAC will get a Pool A bid for the 2020 season, if not sooner.

I guess the new ACAA isn't going to sponsor baseball.  I think I heard somewhere SUNY-Canton was trying to be an E8 affiliate for baseball.

So Finlandia, at various times and in various sports, has now been a member of the NCHA (hockey) the WIAC (men's soccer), the Great South (women's soccer & women's basketball) and the CUNYAC (baseball). Any others I have missed?

That arrangement did not make any sense since they have the UMAC right next door to them. How did that athletic program keep up with all the travel costs associated with that mélange of conference moves is the bigger question.
