I can't even conceive of where the tradeoffs would be if Marist went to 40-60 football scholarships. Add women's sports? Add more scholarships to the women's sports we have? Pull scholarships from other men's sports or discontinue whole men's programs entirely?
None of those options sound like things the Marist administration would go for.

NJ.com now reporting Monmouth all sports to the CAA in July. I would expect the school to confirm imminently.

Peer schools like, Wagner, Sacred Heart, Bryant, Merrimack all pull it off. You lose football and the school goes backwards in terms of diversity. Not exactly what this administration or any school administration is going for.

I cannot speak for three of those schools but SHU offers a huge amount of varsity sports because athletics is much bigger admissions driver for them than it is at Marist.

SHU and LIU can have a thousand sports each because they fund almost none of them at all. They don't care if any of them ever win a game.

WBB aside, what sport seems like the admin care about it's success? Is WBB winning in spite of the admin's regard for it? Sports on the whole is seemingly unimportant to Marist admins.

Marist charges the same if not more than every Northeast school. They fund football. Is St Francis PA doing it bigger and better?...no. Its just a matter of allocating the money. I couldn't tell you what they do with their money. We never will. The school has no obligation to share that info. I can tell you this... Figuring a way to get into the Patriot would do wonders for the school reputation and enrollment. Its instant legacy and prestige. So if you're looking for a ROI you definitely can make a case by going Patriot.

On the FU board somebody suggested we should go after non football Hofstra and Northeastern. I think that is a great idea. Can Ensor and the cheap ass MAAC Presidents make it happen?

those two schools have a combined undergrad enrollment of nearly 30,000 students - that is not a MAAC profile. We have no interest. They have no interest.

probably nobody for now. Ultimately, somebody really boring, like Mount St. Mary's Maryland.

MAAC needs to change its footprint. Adding more small budget, shitty facility schools from the NEC does not make the MAAC better.
Unfortunately, you are probably spot on predicting Ensor will raid the NEC. Ensor has been a complete failure as commissioner and the cheap ass MAAC Presidents keep him around.
Go D1 or go D3
And who’s to say the CAA is done raiding the MAAC?
