They have to have 58 equivalent scholarships to qualify for those games. 2019 can be a JuCo heavy class, so they run out after 2020. They want to graduate as many of the players as they can, since they are thinking long term for donors to the school.

I think running Football for three years as scholarship, and those words about "new sports" almost partnered with "club sports" makes me think there is no immediate scholarship replacement. Wrestling is not in this announcement, and the room for scholarships wont be there for another three or four years. I have to think Men's Lacrosse or Men's and Women's swimming make more sense for this school based on the target demographic.

I noticed 4 of the bullets focused on medical field related major offerings, and 3 bullets were related to recruiting foreign students ("China Scholars", "United Nations", and living facilities on and off campus), while the others focused on post-PC placement, and shifting the emphasis of the curriculum to problems solving are designed to produce more alumni who donate large dollars. These are funding and sustainability points of emphasis.


It also means the Big South will have 8 schools for the next three years.

So Stugray says Presbyterian will add m&w lacrosse instead of M&W wrestling. Wrong again.

Presbyterian becomes the first DI school to sponsor women's wrestling. There are a number of DIII, NAIA and maybe DII schools that sponsor it.
