Hope I am wrong, but there may be more decisions like this one facing many school presidents and trustees. https://www.krem.com/amp/article/sports ... ssion=true
“EWU Interim President to give recommendation on division status Friday.”
Interim Presidents shouldn't be allowed to make these kind of decisions. Probably brought in as a hatchet man.

Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for Gozer: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!
Dang it! Watching a red field playoff game most every year gets me in the Christmas spirit just like Rudolph or Elf. I hope they hang on.
Option 5: Secede from Washington State and join Idaho.

Atta guy!
“The president’s recommendation was one of the options outlined in a report generated by The PICTOR Group, a Nevada-based consultant hired by EWU in September.
As pitched in February by Cary Groth, The PICTOR Group’s CEO, the model would fund high-profile programs – such as football and basketball – at current levels, while diminishing funding to the remaining sports.”

That interim President is getting push back from some pointy headed physics teacher in the faculty organization.
I looked at their report, and their sports revenues look a shade higher than ours while their expenditures may be a little less. I guess the school as a whole is hurting or otherwise I don’t see the crisis. Their website says they offer degrees in Gender Studies, Africana Studies and Addiction Studies. I suggest they eliminate the bogus degree programs and leave sports alone.

If my son or daughter went to a school and said they were going to major in gender studies, Africana studies, or addiction studies, I would revoke their tuition and make them work in the cotton mill. (If we still had any).
P.S. I grew up in a small mill town in N.C. My Dad made me work in the local cotton mill in the summer of 1971. At the end of the summer he asked me what I had learned. I said I learned how to cuss and also why I needed to get a good education.

In that case, your off-springs could major in "Sustainability", or "Equity" rather than face the Graveyard Shift at the mill.

I thought this was an interesting quote:
I expect the Big Sky has a lot of expenses. It is geographically a large conference and, I expect, a lot of travel expenses for non-bussable games.“If we’re going to remain Division I Big Sky athletics, and I’m making an argument very publicly that this is important for the community and beyond, I hope that community will hear what I’m saying,” May said.
That aside, I think the trend nationally is for athletic programs to figure out how to be self-sustaining outside of University budgets.
