Think of athletics as promotion for the university.

Pro sports this ain't. Only about 30 football programs in the country "make money" (the Alabamas, Notre Dames, etc.), yet some 120 programs alone play on a Division I level and I believe 700 colleges play football in some form or another (be it FBS to NAIA).

I should say I am not saying that we should drop athletics just asking the question. But if the options are D2 or nothing I think ETSU should go with nothing.

My alma mater is a D3 and I participated but the more I look back on it the more I think that the money spent on my time as a baseball player was a waste for the college.
