Yes, very sad that Valley Forge is folding. Wes Moore, Maryland gov., went to VFMA in high school.

Not the same schools. UVF was a former Bible college and more recently a Christian college. Wes Moore went to VFMA, a military school that also recently closed, although the separate Valley Forge Military College, a 2-year post-secondary school, remains open.

Ahhhh, thanks. VFMA and Junior College also folded.

FYI, if only 22 D1 sports are sustaining themselves, I guessing the remaining 90% of D1 schools will be sheading non-revenue sports, specifically mens sports. https://thecollegeinvestor.com/85967/94-of-college-sports-programs-lose-money-and-students-help-cover-the-gap/

I think the reality is in the next couple of years, I suspect many sports programs will be cut to help support what will now be the black hole that college athletics has become.
