Re: JMU athletics

While JMU's total endowment is still probaby small in comparison to UD's endowment, it wouldn't surprise me if the dollars and/or percentage restricted to athletics at JMU is significantly larger. UD's endowment dedicated to athletics is probably smaller both in dollars and percentage than that at m...

Re: JMU athletics

The last time I remember looking, does UD now have a student athletic fee? I believe the answer is no. I believe that there was (is?) a relatively small athletic fee that was imposed to help pay for the addition of the practice Basketball courts to the Bob because they are supposed to be available ...

Re: JMU athletics

Transition, we should find out how they did it. If there was ever a college program that transitioned to a higher profile, it is JMU. True, but based on the performance of both JMU & UD 's athletic teams JMU Athletics was in a better position before JMU made their transition to FBS than UD Athl...

Re: Hofstra 3/23

Thanks, LILax. 2.5+ inches of rain forecasted for tomorrow. Bring the boat shoes. Definitely worth the extra $10 for the Club House pass…will need to warm up and dry out at half. Hoping to make the game. Might wear my fishing waders. 😂 Opening trout season weekend coming soon. Damn, and after we ha...

Re: College Basketball Coaches

Maybe Calapari’s star is dimming a little with another first round/early loss? #14 Oakland just beat #3 Kentucky with a DII transfer guard that shot 10-20 on 3’s. And oh yeah … they made 15 3s total. And #11 Duquesne beat #6 BYU with 5 players 6’7” or bigger and 4 of them from foreign countries … M...

Re: News Journal Article Today 03/20/24

Yeah, the Rocco and Carty regimes use the same excuse for not playing the 3-4 or the 3-3-5 - hard to get enough talented DL. Yet many FCS programs manage to do so. I thought that with the move to the FBS, that excuse would be put to bed. The other rationale for the 3-4/3-3-5 is that today's passing ...

Re: College Basketball Coaches

How about Mark Few at Gonzaga? His record is 714–142 (.834) and he has 41 NCAA tournament wins. All at a school of 5000 out in the middle of nowhere. And this debate of “who can coach” versus only recruit is really meaningless. Winning is what matters. At UD, it is really all about getting to the N...

Re: Jyare Davis to the Portal

Best of luck to Jyare and thank you for all your efforts on and off the court towards the betterment of Delaware men’s basketball and UD. You represented us well. If this shocked anyone, you respectfully aren’t paying attention and if you are looking to blame anyone, that would be the NCAA. Don't b...

Re: Women's Ice Hockey

It might not take too long for this program to be successful. There are plenty of great players in the area and very few schools for UD to compete with in the region . The partnership with the Flyers and upgrades to Rust Arena will help get Women’s Hockey off to a great start. Henny, What are the p...
