But you have to admit it's kind of strange to be talking about "limited resources" when at the same time the school is spending $50M on a football stadium.   ;)

I realize its still a lot of money, but the stadium itself is $20 million and the visitors side, aka the new student union building, is $30  million.

Another school announced it is joining the SCAC next year!

Unfortunately, it's only for swimming / diving - and UC Santa Cruz doesn't play football.  Oh well.

Slugs are too slow to play football. ;D

They might do well at chess, however.  :P

Probably, until they have to hit the time clock. ;)

But what if the clock is operated by a slug?  ???

Recent Trinity graduates Nyk McKissic and Riley Walker were recently named to the National Football Foundation Hampshire Honor Society, which "recognizes student-athletes who excel on the football field, in the classroom, and in the community."   More details:  http://www.trinitytigers.com/sports/fball/2013-14/releases/06-21-13_nff_honor

I had heard some speculation that Nyk might have another year of eligibility and might return; whether he had eligibility or not, he definitely will not be returning as the article states he will be attending University of Toledo Law School in the fall - on a full ride, no less! 

Congratulations to Nyk and Riley.

If resources acquired are streamlined for a specific purpose, like the nursing building being paid off before completion or the money donated by McLane is for the football field, then that means resources are limited to that which they are assigned.

According to a tweet earlier today from Joe Austin, the Southwestern head coach, SW has sold nearly 1300 season tickets to date.   Not too shabby (yes, I know it's not UMHB numbers).

The facility they are playing in holds 11,000 so there will be plenty of seats available for the rest of us.   :)

That school is in a good locatcion, so if they do it right, they should be able to get a lot of support. I think the key in those early years is offering something and simply giving away tickets to local groups. Get people involved and they will come back.

Looks like around 100 players in Southwestern's first year:

EDIT:  Their roster shows 102 players; 93 freshman, 9 sophs.    All but two are from Texas.

That is awesome, especially for a 1st year program. I know some other schools that would love to have that amount. I know its going to be a tough year, but hopefully the young men buy into what the program has to offer so they can eventually be successful in the near future.
