Subject: Re: Transfer to Niagara Author: Maldez [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Friday, April 12, 03:27:53pm Author Host/IP: syn-024-059-042-147.res.spectrum.com/24.59.42.147 In reply to: Michael Bundt 's message, "Re: Transfer to Niagara" on Friday, April 12, 01:14:41pm I agree, Michael...talk of dropping down to D3 is unfounded and unnecessary at this point...Niagara will survive in this new environment some way, some how.

Their success rate as a Division I school has been dismal. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Have virtually no student interest… Pay their coach the least in an already poor conference Very rarely have winning seasons And have no means to compete in today’s d1 environment. They are closer to a d3 program than today’s d1 environment. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Every one of them. They are free agents. It's all coming from outside the university, per se. Your chance of building a program is over. The entire landscape is different. It's all about D1 = Prestige, but to seek donations for players each and every year who come and go and who are never heard about again is just not the best place to thrown dollars.....unless it's all about just saying you are D I for "prestige", and maybe a few stalwart alumni. So have you contributed? Where do you think this is supposed to come from every year? The landscape is ruined and the model they are following is pointless because if you don't keep or draft a championship team, you will start all over again. Is that worth all of this nonsense? Some woman over at Q-Pac who is on the rowing team will mention you on social media for $50. Let's see how that goes for NU. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
