Go over there and read it. Other schools have used it to attract and retain male students. I've seen it work, here in Indy@ Marian Univ. So well that they are funding a Med School and their male enrollment is flourishing. And they've won a Natl Championship. This has become a problem at X in the last couple of years, why the admin is toying with the idea of earmarking $1mil in marketing startup money to fund the team.

If Xavier can extort the parents of 75 average high school football players out of $50k per year, more power to them. I'd prefer they don't, though.

Where are you hearing this? Please tell me this isn't more evidence of MOR having lead in his house.

Lots of chatter on Musketeer Report about X starting non scholarship football to aid in Male enrollment and student retention. Evidently male enrollment is suffering and Freshman retention is becoming a problem. Appararently the talk is serious and has been discussed by the Board and Admn. The thought is increased enrollment will make up for the expense of a program. It would be Pioneer league playing Dayton, Butler, Valpo etc.
