EWU BOard to consider fate of EWU athletics

[Gully]

Did anyone think of option 5.....raise some damn money?

[JMB]

Interim president David May will submit a report to the EWU Board of Trustees on Friday With recommendations on the future of Eastern Washington University athletics. The Board Will mull over the recommendations and supposedly have a decision by the June meeting. Options include:

1. Remaining at the current status with BSC But funding some of the athletic programs at a lesser rate in order to offset budget shortfalls. Currently, EWU sponsors the minimum number of sports to remain in contention for BSC membership

2. Reassign to a Division One sub Division which would mean possibly cutting football and adding another sport. There’s also mention of joining the WAC which would allow EWU to remain a D1 participant.

3. Going to NCAA Division II. It would allow Eagles to maintain football but they would have to find another conference and go through the realignment process as well as restructure for the reduction in scholarships, coaching positions, etc.

4. NCAA Division III.

Tomorrow’s meeting are a presentation of recommendations and the information of research supporting each recommendation. The link below includes much of that documentation.

Didn't they just renovate their stadium? (Or at least plan to?)

A lot harder to do when you are directional school versus a land grant or flagship university......

I think raising more money is actually option zero and all the other options exist in service of option zero.

Michael Roos got the field named after him when he donated half a million dollars.

I’m thinking BV can come up with 500,001 dollars to keep their program afloat and rename the field to “Brock Jensen’s Knee Was Down and He Had Already Crossed the Goal Line Anyway How Could That Possibly Been Called A Fumble Bill Fette You Bastard? Field”

Was bullshit- but i think it caused the program to seek dominance instead of championships. Not allow the refs to have a chance to beat you.

A plan that never got past the drawing board. Didn’t happen because of... wait for it... money.

Couldn’t agree more

Interim president's recommendation is to stay the course. Keep football and stay in the Big Sky. Next up is the board's decision in June.
