Leaving as there is a new person onboarding for his role

Great hearing about your trip USC, glad it went well

This is the Enrollment Numbers thread.

Ok it's May 1st need some good news

Three college closures in the last month:
Iowa Wesleyan - Iowa - Methodist
Medaille - Buffalo, NY - Nonsectarian
Cardinal Stritch - WI - Catholic

*technically Medaille is a merger 

Despite some early interest from big time programs he only had offers from New Orleans and Tennessee st....

Unlike the last couple seasons, seems like there was no large transfer splashes this year

This is great good work

I got a number of emails leading up to and many updates throughout the day

Valpo uses Pepsi products so it's a possibility

All of the players wanted Lottich years ago, Powell was never a strong consideration to my understanding.

That football number just seems off though the revenue is roughly that in a normal year let alone and extra buy game at 350k

It's only cause of the Valpo ties USC, they should at least be talked about in the same strain. What they have both done is nothing short of remarkable

Who's this?

He's gone!

"Most don't know Valpo is D1" is just grossly inaccurate.

If Lottich "has" to stay for some wild reasons his contract at the very least better be restructured so next year is his last season.

Announced three weeks ago but haven't seen a post here. Finlandia is/was a private lutheran university in the UP of Michigan that is now closing. Looks like they recently held a transfer fair... Valpo was not one of the 25 schools there although no "peer" schools were either. Ideally I'd hope we pursue getting/buying admissions data since it's a lutheran school in the Midwest.

Sounds like a perfect question for @David81

Hope we get them again this year

If Small and Padilla can't find a creative way to see Lottich out I think the conversation needs to be moved to them. A lot of talk about athletics being a priority and zero action across the board. I'm not expecting a new 40m facility, just remove people who are not doing their job.

Last year had its oddities in that applications were up a good amount but we didn't get the same enrollment increase.

What's with the Max Nelson hate? Seems like a solid player and a freshman

If only, if we did though people rather hold on to it then provide the university with the working capital needed

In theory wouldn't hiding behind "ethics" as a shield to back one's own opinion be extremely unethical?

For everyone complaining about the sale: buy the paintings and leave them indefinitely on loan. Paintings don't leave and you have assets that lenders will lend against.
