Quote from: ChickenHoops on August 12, 2026, 03:59:05 PMWhat do you all think about this WNBA nonsense?  Can it hurt the ladies game here?

Heather makes me turn it off when it comes up on the television. She's got a sailor's tongue on her when she needs it.

League was gifted everything they wanted and continue to fumble it every single way possible. Zero leadership or common sense.

As everyone stated, Carroll is not in financial trouble.
Carroll is the oldest institution in Wisconsin.
Just had the largest freshman class in school history.
$52.5 million dollar facilities plan in place. Have you ever looked at the facilities work they have done over the past fifteen years?

Meanwhile, at least five institutions (in the B- or above range) have had public cuts over the past six years! But, let's go off a letter grade by Forbes.

Quote from: USee on June 19, 2026, 09:37:03 AMSaw this on the OAC board and was curious how CCIW stacked up. Forbes annual College Financial Grades report came out. Schools with A+ to B+ grades are in strong positions. Anyone with a C grade or worse is on life support as an institution.

CCIW:
Wheaton College  A+  4.5
IWU  A+  3.86
Augustana  A-  3.74
Elmhurst  B+  3.43
Concordia UW  B 3.02
North Park  B  3.01
North Central  B-  2.91
Carthage  C+ 2.64
Millikin  C  2.14
Carroll  C-  1.99 

I don't believe this is accurate at all.
