any news to the finalists at Denison. I've heard Tom Flynn (old wabash coach), Mike Deegan (marietta) any others?

I don't get administrators. most small schools are tuition driven - therefore, most coaches are glorified admission counselors. to underestimate the role that athletics plays in the survival of a small college is just stubborness from an administrator that didn't play athletics. There reasoning is to "emphasize" how important academics is. Small colleges is a very competitive market place. Most of the small schools in the oac and ncac have around 2400 undergrads. approximately 450 of those are athletes, and i would be willing to bet that another 150 or so came in for athletics and have quit and stayed in school there. that is 25% of your student body. problem is, most administrators think coaches are dumb jocks and kids come there based solely on academics alone. I think that administrators think that kids wake up one day and say that I want to go to Capital or Ohio Weslyan and oh yeah, i think they have a baseball program so i might participate. this thinking completely underestimate the amount of work and recruiting that is needed to get a player to play at a small college. I don't understand it when administrators don't give the respect to athletics that it should deserve. Food for thought: 35 man roster - $30,000 tuition each = $1,000,000 gross profit. total team budget $35,000. Entire Coaching staff salary $40,000. - program receives less than 10% from the university. still don't understand how you can't have a full time coach and a full time assistant at least at every small university.

just saw on Capital's website, they hired Ryan Grice from LaGrange in Georgia. Good guy - I wish him the best of luck
