It wasn't that long ago that basketball was the only DI sport at SBU.Like Hobart and John Hopkins (lax) of today SBU had one DI sport and competed in DIII in the several other sports.I don't intend to advocate this specificly but think of all these non-revenue sports and all the scholarship/nonpaying athletes on campus.Now there probably is some revenue generated should these teams qualify for the post season but is it enough to offset the expense? Perhaps some of you know more of the dollar and cents (perhaps sense is apropo) associated with all these sports.

Softball gets a total of 3 scholorships and I believe Baseball 5 or 6. Other sports probably get similar numbers. that would mean that these non-revenue sports produce 10 or more tuition paying players per year.

Hamilton College fields 28 varsity sports 14 men and 14 womens teams;plays DIII;has ~4800 applicants for 470 slots;has great facilities as do all the NESCAC schools;has a $800mm endowment;hands out financial aid to 64% of its student body with an average package of 25k per.SBU should really push to build its endowment to give itself alot of flexibility.There are other ways to manage and maintain a university;None of this is easy but it can be done.

NCAA stipulates that schools that participate at the D-1 level in Football or Basketball must have all other sports at the D-1 level.
Question, FacultyBrat: In your University tenure how many students have you directly recruited to Bonas?
