We had done some speculation about it in the mailbag segment on the pod which dropped today:

That's a tiny number of FTE, though.

Quote from: Patrick Coleman on June 10, 2026, 02:08:46 PMSomeone who is in the portal has released from their previous school. They're a free agent.

Unrelated, but isn't this not really a thing in D3? They no longer guarantee you a roster spot, nor will they honor your athletic scholarship, but those aren't in play in D3 anyway, so, you COULD return without any impact assuming they wanted you back.

You COULD return, but you are absolutely, 100% free once you self-release. And now, once you go into the portal, since that will be the mechanism going forward.

It is not "poaching," or "tampering," or in any way improper for a school to contact someone who is in the portal.

Someone who is in the portal has released from their previous school. They're a free agent. Insisting on some form of gentleman's agreement seems a little excessive, and a conference rule probably would not hold up if someone chose to challenge it.

Glad that in your penultimate sentence you did admit the differentiator that is pretty prominent in the story:

He's also thinking about life after he's done playing. Green is an economics major, and has hopes to one day work in an NFL front office. In that regard, there might not be a better institution in America for that career path. Currently, JCU has more than 40 individuals either coaching or in a front-office role in the NFL that graduated from JCU or was associated with the football program.

Does anyone else hate this as much as I do? I mean, I get this is how it works now, and I'm not mad at him or JCU. But to me an inter-conference transfer in D3, and maybe especially in the NCAC just feels - gross.

I don't know what I was expecting. Teams want to win, but I think maybe I was just hoping that the schools in the NCAC would try to prioritize helping athletes graduate as efficiently as possible and not poach student athletes. 

Curious as to why you want to assign the term "poach" to this. Tyler Green put himself in the portal in March, and in June announced he was going to JCU. Seems like a standard transfer situation to me, not John Carroll reaching out to him while he was still bound to Denison/before he entered the portal.

Quote from: Greek Tragedy on June 09, 2026, 08:24:37 AMThat last paragraph seems odd. You aren't allowed a 2nd degree, but if you play a 5th year, you have to sit out a year of school? Ok...

You sit out the year or semester to preserve a year or semester of eligibility. It's not unusual.

2024 is the last time NSF updated its table.

There is no more recent data.

https://ncsesdata.nsf.gov/profiles/site?method=rankingbysource&ds=herd

Maybe in 2026 or perhaps 2027 there will be more up to date data.

Until then 2024 is the best data available.

Yes -- it simply isn't relevant to a discussion of cuts in 2025 and 2026, though, is it? My point being -- bringing 2024 data to a discussion of something happening in 2025 and 2026 isn't informative.

Quote from: DagarmanSpartan on June 08, 2026, 05:54:29 PMRegarding overall research funding at CWRU, not just NIH, it grew from $467 million in FY 22 to $643 million in FY 24.

Of course, the data isn't relevant to this discussion, because funding cuts didn't start until the current administration took over in Washington in 2025.

Quote from: DagarmanSpartan on June 08, 2026, 05:54:29 PMNationally, there may be an enrollment cliff of some kind, and there may be schools affected by it.

Oh, honestly, I wasn't aware that you were even admitting this much.

Never fear, I did not say Case would be affected.

Quote from: DagarmanSpartan on June 08, 2026, 04:28:14 PMBut as I said, I haven't seen a super-massive drop off in that, even in recent years.  Seems pretty steady, fortunately.

What access would you have to see these numbers? Just because you don't see them, like you don't see the enrollment cliff, doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

Quote from: DagarmanSpartan on June 08, 2026, 03:54:27 PMGee.  CWRU medical school practically LIVES on NIH grants.  So far, it hasn't affected CWRU that much.

You attend finance meetings for the medical school?! Wow!

Quote from: scottiedoug on June 08, 2026, 12:30:58 PMMaryville is and always has been DIII....

I am surprised to see Centre and Sewanee on the losing money lists....

There is more than one institution named after St. Mary's Villa.

Maryville (MO) was a founding member of the SLIAC, but moved to the GLVC in Division II a decade or so ago.

Since 2009!
